waters ruffled the last few days.
dirty black clouds build and threaten. thunder rumbles constant and loud.
wicked winds whip flags of anger and discontent.
and now I need a minute
to take a breath
to step back and know
what I believe,
how I will find my calm.
waters can become settled again.
sky clear and blue, relieved and calm
thunder of discontent only a memory
and wind slowed only to a breath.
“There’s no point in reacting to a lack of calm
in a way that makes you even less calm.”
~ Claudia Gray, Into the Dark
