As I read this I think about peace, as it feels similar. But, on further reflection I can say that calmness for me is a day with no anxiety. A day where only nature can be heard and my body is in sync with it. Those days are rare, but after reading this I think I can identify more experiences of calm.

So interesting to read your experience of calm — and I’m glad my words may have helped heighten your awareness of it. Sometimes calm is actually there, more often than we notice :)

"To move from calm is to move from intention, not impulse." -Thanks for saying this. This is so true. I have felt it several times in my life.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad it resonated with you. I truly believe the role of 'intention' in our lives is deeply underrated.

If I won’t calma calm my Alma,

I’ll wander lost in the for-rest,

Where thoughts grow wild like tangled vines

And peace avoids my beating chest.

So I’ll root myself, not just tree-t the pain,

Let branches stretch, and dance in rain.

For even storms can leaf behind

A stronger trunk, a clearer mind.
