Calm and Storm

The last few weeks have seen my cup of life very full: some great opportunities, meeting new people, and there has been the "stuff" that comes to steal the good away. Both exist together in our lives, and I have been very aware of holding both in my full cup. Yet when I have felt it hard to trust people, the reality that I and, and do, trust the Almighty has moved me to a deeper place with Them.

This poem from over at You, A Prayerful Conversation seems to beautifully dovetail into my thinking:
Let nothing disturb you;
Let nothing make you afraid.
All things are passing;
God alone never changes.
Patience gains all things.
Who has God wants nothing.
God alone suffices.

— The Bookmark of Saint Teresa of Avila

Stop over here and read the writers' thoughts.
