Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.

THE TEMPEST
When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.
Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth
And silver waves chime ever peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flyeth
Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.
-Harriet Beecher Stowe-

CALM
But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the wayside as we walk;in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says, "Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
