serenity / Gelassenheit
Imagine a timeline representing the entire existence of the Earth, stretching the length of your outstretched arms. With a single stroke of your nail file across your fingernail, you could erase all of human history.
The awareness of our own smallness and greatness connects us to a universal force.
The gateway to this force is serenity. Through serenity, we can grow beyond ourselves and accomplish things that would be impossible in a state of restlessness or fear.
Serenity is not passive; it is an active source of strength.
When we embrace it, we learn to let go of things beyond our control, face challenges with inner peace, and act effectively and effortlessly in harmony with the universal forces.
