When a hurricane is
brewing in the ocean, the cruise ships here seek safe harbor in a port far away
from the storm. It’s important for us to have a safe harbor too; somewhere
where we can go and be safe and secure when life throws a storm our way; a
place where we can breathe and unwind. This safe harbor can be looked for in
many places; in the wisdom of the Dao of course, but on a more intimate level,
maybe in a hot bath, or on a walk, or on a tatami mat while gazing out at
nature. Wherever you can find your safe harbor, use it in those times of
incoming storms.
