In the Eye of the Storm

"Nada de turbe. Todo se pasa."
Let nothing disturb you. All things are passing.
- St. Teresa of Avila


When the wind is high, and the turbulence in life seeks to overwhelm me, I say these very words to myself.

I try to remind myself that the raging storm around me is all but temporary. After all, the air is cleaned and refreshened after a tumultuous thunderstorm.

But Serenity, if you're out there listening, you are more than welcome to come in anytime.

Into my heart. Into my soul.

  1. I concur. It is the beauty of the human condition, an existence that is as passing as it is ever-changing. Evolution presents us an opportunity to get it right the next time around. So does fate.

    May peace find you amidst the grimmest of tempests. And may the heavens wash the soils of our parched consciousness.
