Shelter in the Eye of the Storm

The storms of this material world comes in many forms; war, conflict, being hurt by someone we love, feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and so on. We try to find comfort and shelter in friends, family, career, prestige, or even in drugs and alcohol. But as hard as we try, the shelter we strive for always seems to slip through our fingers.

Nothing lasts in this world. So how can I safely rest not only my body, but my mind and heart too? How do I find shelter in the eye of the storm?
