murky.

have you ever noticed how a puddle looks clean, until something stirs it up. something disturbs the tranquil clarity of it all, and it suddenly becomes cloudy, dark, and even dirty. it's funny to think how similar we are to those puddles sometimes. everything we know is all clean, clear, and easy to see through, but then, without warning the clear goes away. change comes, things are shifted, and suddenly what seemed simple, translucent, and obvious becomes cloudy, confused, opaque.

eventually, the dust settles, and the calm resumes. it's just a matter of waiting out the calamity.
