I have had in my mind, for many years, a pond, the condition of which, revealed how my life was going at a particular time. I have always tried to keep it as calm and tranquil as possible. If it was almost like glass, my life was good ... and I tried to keep it that way.
Today, my pond is full of "whitecaps" ..... large waves, there are no boats on the water today, Storm Warnings are up. I won't go in to details, life is just not good, today, for me.
Hopefully, the sky will clear, the sun will shine, the wind will die down, and a placid pond will appear again.
