The Eye-of-the-Storm.
Surrounded by the winds and the rain,

been a player upon the stage of my life.

What if happiness is in our oneness with all creation?
What if happiness is about enjoying life exactly as it comes to us -
without chasing after it?
What if happiness is something we CHOOSE...
regardless of our circumstances?
