The calm of ending
is easier to achieve than finding
the peace within the eye of the
storm.
Necessary balances
seperate those who live
and those who
understand
into feeling sorrow and
embracing it serenely.
Author notes
"Somehow we must learn not only to meet sorrow with courage,
which is comparatively easy, but with serenity, which is more difficult, being not a single act but a way of living."

Those who wish to grow seek serenity. The sadness still flows and the ache of the pain may still be there but peace and joy become opportunities that didn't exisit before. Peace & Love, Tom B.
