From the Depths of My Soul

Boat in the middle of a storm

When the storms of your life rock you. You may feel like a boat in the middle of the storm and the waves are crashing on the rocks. You feel the waves rocking and dashing against the boat. You are soaked by the water coming up over the edge of the boat. The boat is being tossed by the waves, and you are barely holding on. Not sure if you will be able to survive the ordeal. You see the lightning, thunder and feel like your life is going under. Will I survive! Can I handle this storm? You feel overwhelmed by what is happening around you and to you. You think the boat will capsize. Some days my life feels that way and I am drowning in the abyss of this storm. Not sure if I will survive. the mental, emotional and physical turmoil of what is called my life. Just as you think you are going to drown you pull all your strength, will and might. You survive!!!

Some days my life feels like a storm that keeps coming and crashing me into the rocks. I feel soaked with my emotions, drained by the constant waves dashing against my body, and my mind. Can I or will I survive? This sea called life can be unpredictable, hard to cope with the thrashing of the waves. At times I feel like I am drowning and going down with the boat. Some days the hopelessness and despair of life can be all consuming. The sea can be powerful, dangerous and beautiful all at the same time.

But after the storm comes the sunshine, the calm, the peace, the joy and happiness. You can feel the warmth of the sun, the calmness of the waves. Walking on the beach with the water coming up on your toes and feeling the refreshment of the water. You see the sun glistening on the waves, and it looks like diamonds sparkling and beautiful. You feel the calm, the peace and you think life is good once again. You see the beauty of life. Life can be like this. This is my personal expression and experience.
