BG 2.56
Settle
Something in you does not shake, even when the surface does. Feel for it beneath today's weather.
The essence
The surface shakes; the depth does not.
Breathe
You feel the storm move You sink to what is not shaking
Contemplate
When you were last shaken, what underneath stayed still?
Take with you
Write of the steady place you can return to when shaken.
