Yes,you have heard the analogy, but it bears repeating: When the surface of a pond is covered with
waves, you cannot see your reflection.
When you are in turmoil, your true self cannot be seen. Always at the bottom of the pond is there
stillness, just as at the center of you will you find peace. When you feel caught up in turmoil, you must
retreat from that which is making the waves, even if “that” is your own
thoughts. Sink, sink, sink on slow,
quiet breaths to the depths of your inner being and there find respite. It is you who can always take control when
life around you seems out of control.
Peace descends upon you from within.
