Chapter 3: Perfect Calm in the Eye of the Storm

What if the centre of every experience is perfect ? Perfect silence. Perfect connect. Perfect synchonicity. Perfect calm. Life brings you to moments of unexpected lightness. The runner who paces someone he never met before, just to make sure her ranking doesn't slip. The friend who cannot stand straight for exhaustion after running 21 km, on the road , but walks far enough to express pride in you. We spend the first halves of our lives twisting ourselves into a small ball of fury. And the rest of our lives rolling through experiences and people. But sometimes, when the choices have been taken away, you see something remarkable. Strangers who care, from deep inside. Friends who see you as you are. Conversations you thought was between perfect friends but is between perfect strangers.Nights where the silence is a warm cloak .Beyond the darkness there is light. Below the waves there is depth. In the eye of the storm, there is perfect calm.
