I came into my apartment and I suddenly collapsed on the floor.
I lay there breathing kind of heavily and I said to myself,
"Oh, to hell with serenity. I don't care if it ever comes."
And I meant it. And do you know what happened?
All of a sudden the craving to find serenity utterly evaporated
-- and in its place there was serenity.
The trouble was the search . . . looking out there for what was right here.
You know, we only have this given second. There's always now.
Once I realized that, serenity became mine.
I've learned a little more about serenity.
It was inside all the time.
