With nature's storms the eye is the center, a place of stillness, the place where turbulence dissipates. With your storms, the soul is your center, a place of stillness, the place where turmoil dissipates. With your storms see them from your center, the place of perspective and peace.

Sara Sara. Hi. You wrote wonderfully once again regarding souls light and peace to which souls for peace need to always be protected and never fractured or dimmed. I'm so glad I returned on this day to see your work. Have a wonderful night and weekend. Have it filled with peace light and more. Peace and Blessings always. (smile) PS - I could write of souls over and over that's how much I believe in them and their protection.

thank you, Lisa, for your lovely words. I, too, believe in peace...everyone's soul needs that whether recognized or not. May you have a light-filled day as well. I agree with your sentiments, by the way. Have a blessed evening, Sara

What a perspective. With my storm. I'm trying to recount. Do I? I don't seek excitment and avoid controversy. Too old I guess.

thanks for stopping by. I empathize with you. Lots of 'storms' in my life, many I self-created. I avoid conflict as well. Excitement, although uplifting, drains me. Yep, getting older does that. May you have a pleasant day, Sara
