Ballast

Faith serves as ballast anchoring my calmest self - stress loves to perturb my still. Faith holes make punctures leaving me to drown at sea - stress stays afloat just breathing. CayCay March 31, 2020

CayCay, such imagination went into this. A short write but so much depth. I too think of the sea as a vivid metaphor of faith. Well done, my friend, and congratulations on your win! Happy Easter and do stay safe. Hugs ~ John
