Sunbeam on the water

Sometimes I feel blinded by sunlight on my way too work. It feels too intense, too much. It feels like the sun knows something that I do not know and it thinks that if it only shines bright enough it can get my attention. Even when I recognize this, I feel helpless because we don't speak the same language and I don't understand what it is trying to tell me. This was one such day.
