What is the remedy 

for an unfolding tragedy?

Try to fix it?

Learn to accept it?

Both, I suppose,

depending on the circumstances.

Either way, & through it all,

a helpful remedy,

I do believe,

is cultivating a deep interior peace.

A person imbued with peace

has a way of calming volatility

by just being there,

in the midst of twirling cyclones

& exploding volcanoes,

peace can be palpable,

you can almost touch it,

like a soothing balm.

"Let there be peace on earth,

& let it begin with me."
