A pond of water, when undisturbed is by its nature calm. When the wind blows the surface is affected. When the storm comes the rain also affects the water. If the wind or storm is strong enough the effect goes deeper. But the universe cannot sustain the wind or storms indefinitely. Their effect it temporary, or impermanent. When the wind stops, when the storm subsides, the the water returns to its natural state, calm. Even when the storm was great and the effects reached to the depths of the pond, the water will return to the natural state, calm.
I wonder about the human condition. Can we also return to a state of calm after the storms have past. Our storms can not be sustained indefinitely either. Once they pass, let them pass and allow yourself to be like the pond, return to a calm state.
Thank You
