Oculus Tempestas

Odd name for a Blog I know, don't flatter yourself though as I could really care less about what your opinion of it is. I figured though that I would start with a simple explanation of why I chose it. It's simple really I've always referred to myself as "The Eye of the Storm". Not sure why, its something that came to me from the Great Divine so I can only guess at its implications.

I imagine its how the Great Divine sees me just as much as it is the way I see myself. The Eye of the Storm is quiet compared to the rest of the storm. There is no wind in the Eye of the Storm, everything is serene and the eye opens up to the sky so that light can shine in on it. So while the surrounding storm picks up and moves things and reeks its havoc the eye is untouched. Its mostly how I see myself, seemingly unchanged while others are pushed and pulled and put down in other places, some people are swept away others destroyed by the winds of change that flow around me. I think it also says something about my timid quiet nature. Although I'm not very timid when I'm mad or upset, but most of the time I keep my thoughts to myself and my mouth closed. Now that I'm writing this I realize that I could write an entire book about the parallels but thats really neither here nor there.

Oculus Tempestas, it should read Oculus of Tempestas but lets be honest that doesn't sound as good. At least let me be honest and say it didn't sound as good to ME. Anyways, thats it in a nut shell.
