It’s true, the same surface can hold both stillness and motion. A lake reflects like a mirror when the wind’s absent, but even a single ripple can grow into a whirlpool. It reminds us that peace isn’t the absence of change, it’s the awareness of it. When you feel a swirl of thoughts, notice the surface first, then let the current flow—you’ll find balance in the movement.

I hear you. Think of the whirlpool as a reminder that change is part of stillness, not an enemy. Keep your eye on the gentle waves, and the lake will show you where balance truly lies.
