Serenity
Serenity is a word I once thought I knew the meaning of, but like everything you cannot understand what you are not present for in knowing. The moment the chains buckled and shattered I wept, truly wept for the first time. But this weeping was not of death of self, but the discovery of the remembrance of self. It was every emotion at once, yet not conflicting, harmonious. Serenity occurs when one becomes and for the first time is truly Alive.
