In
the midst
of tumult
one can seek calm
by taking a breath
and practicing silence.
Listen in quiet stillness
to the sound of the blood flowing
to every corner of the body
revealing a path from chaos to Light.

Here are links to 2 previous posts I wrote with similar tensions.  I wrote Peace in Quiet in response to the chaos following the explosions at the Boston Marathon back in April 2013 as I prayed, listening for God’s comforting grace.  In A River Runs Through Us I was responding to a question of how does God use us to turn chaos into grace.
