Life is peace, the sun rises and sets, the tides rise and recede.

The wind begins to blow, begins to howl -- a change in the air.

Suddenly, nothing is the same, can’t find my way back to peace.

Question everything, notice everything.

Question origins, beginnings and truth.

The blurry future is now vast, lonely and dark.

The uncertainty leaves me careful, weary, mindful.

 A return to normalcy is impossible.

What will come? What will today’s wind bring? What will the breezes say to me?

Yet the sun rises and sets, the tides rise and recede. I am forever changed. I am alive.
