Mother Nature huffed a laugh at daylight,
After she flooded lake shoreline acres—
Expecting protest, clamor and much plight—
And spied a heron and trees in hip waders.

Does Mother Nature ever get annoyed, surprised or exasperated, when she unleashes all manner of furies into creation and our Earth and her denizens tenaciously just roll with the punches? Unlikely, since her so-called furies are not driven by her emotions, but rather by physical laws of the universe. Personifying them simply helps humankind cope with challenges beyond our control.
In life’s journey we must strive to become an unruffled person, who lives mindfully in the moment and endeavors to know oneself. Pause before reacting to challenges and accept what you cannot change, then, adapt and overcome. Most importantly, cultivate spiritual inner peace—become unflappable.
