Sometimes we find ourselves drowning in the thunderstorms of life. Sometimes we feel like we are in the middle of a tornado and the chaos that surrounds us will never cease. Sometimes our lives feel like they are crumbling, like we are experiencing earthquake after earthquake that shatters us to the very core and never allows us back on our feet. It is through love that our lives and our souls can become still and in that stillness that love truly brings about the most incredible miracles. Love can quiet the loudest of storms and calm the greatest of earthquakes. It brings serenity in the middle of chaos and peace to the most rocky of waters. Love is what allows you to dance in the rain instead of hide from the thunder. It anchors you even on the most shaky of ground. It brings calm to panic and clears the most foggy of days. Love heals. The turmoil and tragedy of my own life was often enough to stop me in my tracks and to feel so hopeless and defeated. But in that tragedy lied the greatest of beauties. Love stilled my soul and because of love that stillness became a part of me. Nothing could ever break me again and instead of drowning me, every storm became an opportunity to dance-and perhaps that is the greatest miracle of all.
