The sea may catch fire, the planets may collide in space, the sun may quench off its heat, but what I understand is that my peace is like a river in my soul; it's surface may wave about in turbulence, but it's bottom is cool and gently calm! And it's true what you might have already thought ... I've been drowning, for awhile now actually. I'd been flailing on the surface since last year, but what I really needed to do to save myself was let myself sink. It struck me that this is why we say to people, "calm down". Because beneath the noise of the pounding, swirling surf is a place where all is quiet and clear. The chaos stills in this deep.
