Am I reading this right? I get the impression more is going on below the surface than people have noticed. Perhaps the calm before the storm?

It only means life is calm like still waters when disruptive ones are silent. Unlike some may think, this is not about Silent One.

Well, that should stick a pin in that balloon. Remember, "it takes a village" but never forget "every village has its idiot(s)"

It’s just a statement to show appreciation for peace. You’re definitely correct about village idiots.

I felt calm as I was reading your soft Monoku. I love the word 'placid' and you used it beautifully. Enjoy your evening, Sara

I think I'm foolishly drowning in Lake Placid Lin, but at least you got me thinking with this one. Thanks

Hold on, Jeff. Still waters will return. This, too shall come to pass.
