When it is stormy

A few years ago, I read about an art contest in which people were to paint on the theme of peace.

The majority of the paintings were what we'd expect: a restful setting in nature; a child resting in its mothers arms; Jesus in some setting.

The setting of the painting that won was a dark forest during an intense storm. Not immediately visible was a mother bird with body and wings protecting chicks who were fast asleep.

I want to be at rest like that.
