With hurricane Patricia pummeling Mexico with winds up to two hundred miles an hour, maybe there’s a life lesson in all of the mayhem.
Most of us have heard of the “eye of the storm”.
This is the quiescent center found in such storms as cyclones, tornadoes and hurricanes. The center or eye of a storm, is a roughly circular area marked by relatively calm conditions, including light winds, little or no precipitation, and, often, clear skies.
If we were to encounter these conditions on a typical day, we would not be particularly enthused about them. They
would be “no big deal” to us.
However, when compared to the violent eyewall immediately surrounding the eye, where the storm is most dangerous, the eye of the storm is seemingly one of the most peaceful places on earth.
As humans, we need to see the eyewall and to recognize when we’re swirling out of control.
Sometimes, during a typical day, we are so distracted by life, that we can’t locate the quiet that exists in the eye of the storm.
Where’s your quiet refuge…..and do you go there often enough?
