THE CALM ONE

She said she needed space. Now that I think of it, this was a habit of hers. She always needed space when her emotions seemed to have a mind of their own. It was her way of maintaining control.
She had a very critical and analytic mind. She would dissect all the events leading to her tangled feelings, seeking a logical response to regain control. I admired this quality about her.
Instead of flaring up and uttering irreparable words or doing unforgivable things, she chose solitude to analyze her emotions.
People called her calm and peaceful, but I don’t think they were aware that she too had triggers,
that she too could be mad – like an untamed beast. Yet, what good would that be? What profit lies in being controlled by impulsive feelings?
So, she let her better judgment guide her, surrendering to the Holy Spirit's leading.
As a result, this is what people would see: the one who chose Spiritual guidance, the calm one.
But they would never have guessed that she had to wrestle with her baser instincts to let the best prevail.
