Ocean Depths

 Why do we say that stillness in the deepest part of ourself will give us peace.  Because we can be like the ocean.  Life has its hurricanes.  On the surface area and a bit below the surface, there is lots of turmoil and chaos.  But the deep part of the ocean remains calm.  The hurricane chaos cannot reach that depth.  If a species gets nothing but bad from the ocean turmoil, then the species develops so that it can go deeper.  Some fish are smarter than humans with all our brains.  When the fish senses the ocean surface if growing into a hurricane, the fish goes deeper.  What does a human do?  Stays to watch the hurricane.  Meditation is to take us to our deep places while the storm of life beats around the surface.
