Steady as She Goes

Your life can change in an instant.  One moment things are going along steadily, and the next moment there is tumult.  This can be perceived as very good or very bad, depending upon your view.  How do you handle the change without getting knocked off your feet?  Retreat to the place that never changes, where peace prevails.  Go into the silence and dissolve.  Release your focus on the tumult and focus instead on the treasure that lies within the heart.  Do this as often as necessary to remain centered and grounded, and you will never lose focus of what truly matters.
