Chaos to Renewal

What is it about renewal that must be CHAOS before it can become?  It is inevitable.  I've seen it time and again.  First, there is that sense of dis-ease, a knowing that something is in the air, like dark, warning storm clouds on the far horizon.  The air becomes electric, and maybe the wind whips your clothes and hair.  Trees, and trash and dirt swirl about, Chaos is here.  Nothing will be the same when it is done. There will surely be destruction, people will get hurt, property will be destroyed and lives will be displaced.

These are the consequences of Chaos.  The question is, are we resilient enough to withstand it all?  Have we fortified our foundations, strengthened our inner fortress for the inevitable.  For it will come.  Chaos cycles through our lives.  It is how renewal comes about.  The renewal of the Earth, the renewal of society and the renewal of our soul.  What will we cling to when the storms of Chaos attempt to rip us from our foundations?  What strengthens you and I?  What gives us hope that there will be renewal?  For we must find the answers to these questions.  Where will this journey called "Life" take us and how will we fortify ourselves for the ride ahead?
