(Stillness in the Storm Editor) We need to be reminded that good things are happening in the world, that good things are possible.
Spiritually, it is said that the Creator of all things is love and that all things are good. But on earth, this cosmic truth seems obscured, even foolish—for how can all things be good when there’s so much suffering in the world.
But part of the grand truth that underpins the spiritual nature of all things, as it is spoken of by mystics, and the wise, is that goodness is a potential of the human soul. That we, as creatures of the divine, make goodness through our actions. This is what service to others is all about.

Psychologically, humans are both animal and divine in one being, a human organism.
Our animal nature, the more ancient parts of our neurology, see things from survival only. As such, if you don’t consciously seek out goodness in life, you’ll never see it.
In this way, stopping to smell the roses isn’t just a saying, it’s a spiritual survival tool. We need to take time to appreciate truth, beauty and goodness or, literally, our mind can’t acknowledge goodness or transcend suffering.
The cure to suffering, in this sense, is to cultivate an appreciation for divine transcendence, that goodness can and will come if we are willing to grasp for it.
The following story gives life to this cosmic ideal, that people who see the power of goodness can express it in life, doing good things for others in the process.
