When I was 10 years old, deep in the Canadian wilderness, I camped at the top of a tiny “mountain” on a small island. My father and the rest of the crew were camping near the bottom.

A massive thunder and lightning storm came up. For several hours, lightning was striking all around me, cracking the trees and lighting up the tent. Inside the tent, there was an electric “buzz.”. I kept feeling like I was floating away.

At first, I was concerned about getting hit. After an hour, I was so used to the lights and sounds that I fell asleep and had a wonderful dream about riding the lightning.

No matter how dangerous and bad things get, you can find peace and joy within yourself.
