Is it possible to feel calm in the middle of a storm? It can be exiting to feel the powers at play and existential to experience the drama and intensity, but also humbling, life affirming and rejuvenating. I find a kind of inner calmness and tranquility, the more intense the weather the stronger the joy of living.
