the.com/serenity
the eye of your own storm, where everything spins but you don't.
means A state of calm, untroubled peace — in your surroundings or, more often, your own mind.
from From Latin serenus, meaning clear, bright, and unclouded — first used of fair weather, a sky with no storm in it. It passed through Old French serenite into English, carrying its weather-born sense intact: the word for a calm sky became the word for a calm soul. The same root gives us 'serene,' and lurks in the title 'Serene Highness' — a wish for cloudless calm bestowed on royalty.
