Blue sky symbolizes our true nature
This statement sounds odd and even contradicting at first: You have to feel bad in order to feel good.... Otherwise, how would you be able to differentiate between the two emotions? So, the million dollar question is: Is a feeling of depression or the element of suffering intrinsic to life? The answer is yes! We need to first suffer in order to eventually find bliss and enlightenment. Humans suffer at birth and at death. We even suffer when we are cold, hungry, sad or even stressed or injured. The important factor here is to understand that the sky is always blue and yes, clouds do sometimes obscure the sunshine. Yet eventually like clouds, suffering will clear away and again reveal blue sky again. The element of true nature is that even though it might be stormy and dreary, even behind that grey, there always sits blue sky.

Very uplifting, John and a great way to re-evaluate "the blues".
