Staying contented

There is nothing on my mind. There is nothing I would want or wish for right now.

Everything seems well, at peace... the norm.

Yet I have to admit that this norm didn't come easy. It was as if we spent our whole lives finding harmony amongst things, searching for peace within and outside ourselves. When we found it, everything seems to come to a stop.

Calme... trop tranquille.

It was as if life wasn't meant to be this smooth-sailing, this still. It was as if we were destined to face bad weather, the strong winds or a destructive storm. Whatever it is, there is always something out there that we need to challenge, overcome and experience... c'est la vie.

When the waters stayed stagnant, we can't help to feel that things are too good to be true or be overtaken by the human's greed and start looking for a new adventure.

It is not easy to attain contentment but what is harder, to maintain it.
