the eye of the storm

the eye of the storm is the calmest.
ironically enough, things are at their most peaceful in the middle of turmoil and stress. this really reminds me of the song "Looking for a place to land" by Dakota Moon.
i can still recall a bit of the lyrics ..."Sometimes you've got to lose your peace of mind to find it"

well, all of us are looking for a place to land. somewhere to call home. somewhere we are accepted no matter what. is there any other better place than that quiet spot in the middle of your heart, where things are still even when hurricanes blow past?

it so happens we are always our own worst enemies. but i would never stop seeking that garden of contentment and peace. that garden inside.

stop awhile. pause. think. reflect and see what comes up. you may surprise yourself. and at last, you will find that even if the demons of the past never seem to stop haunting you, you will have had the strength and courage to deal with them. and that the present never really seems as dark as it does in your nightmares.
