When I was young, every day I found time to play in the sun, even on a cloudy one.

On days that it rained or stormed, those didn't seem bother me, I simply played inside.

As the years passed, I found less time to play and the days seemed to be cloudier.

I tried to compensate by making the Sun brighter, thinking that I could make it shine through the clouds, especially the darker ones.

After years of trying and failing, I realized the Sun was out of my Wheel

 of influence and I could never re-invent it, to be any brighter.

Out of frustration of feeling powerless, I walked over to the center of my inner-child's-Lodge, announcing I am finally ready to listen with opened heart.

As I stood as close as I could to their blazing fire,

 I heard the distinctive voice of the Great Spirit say:

"Make peace in all Directions of your life!"

At that exact moment as I held that hot ember of advice from the hearth,

 everything became perfectly clear to me.

The clouds were my creations and the Sun was not.

I feel at peace now Above and Below, knowing that the Sun is good Medicine,

 from all Directions and always Shines on me.

For me, these create my "Sunny Days" to play and to have fun, even on a cloudy one.
