In the Midst of Chaos

A storm rages upon a city, wreaking havoc with all the power of Mother Nature behind it. Torrents of rain slam down on cement walls, winds rage through streets, and everything is swept away by the swift hand of the clouds. In the midst of chaos, however, there is a place of peace. In the eye of the storm there is serenity, there is safety, there is salvation. I currently find myself in this sanctuary, watching the world tear itself apart around me. It seems as long as I move with the storm and stay in my bubble, I will be okay.

As I look upward, the glimpse of sunshine I see gives me hope that there are better things yet to come for me, yet I worry for those around me. Will my departure leave them in the wake of the tempest that has stricken my life? Or is this simply another rainy day that will pass as all those before it? The answers seem irrelevant as I all can focus on is staying in the eye, and avoiding the chaos that swirls around me.
