Although seas roar and winds howl,
in this space Mother Nature preserves the calm.
Here, she provides a nook where peace reigns
and the seasons bow to life’s demands
for security and shelter. We are holding
the calm for you, sing the reeds and and waters and trees,
for you who are in the midst of great storms. We are holding
beauty for you who are beset with chaos and destruction.
We send you the warmth of the early spring sun, and hope,
and the promise that, always, after the storms,
calm awaits, serenity returns.
