Is calm possible in the midst of this all?
Calm in chaos?
Tenderness in the hard?
Peace in the overwhelming?
In the midst of the tough stuff, I have experienced this. Today, in fact. I've experienced a peace that passes all understanding when situations and circumstances in all their reason and reality have screamed otherwise. An intentional shift of my focus is required, a shift from the chaos to the Calmer of the seas. Am I always faithful in making this shift? No. Sometimes I choose to stay focused on the chaos and then the calm can remain elusive. To what end?
I appreciate all of your work, but this one speaks to me, for some reason. It's as tangly as living, and as structured as life.
