Love this! The sky not falling is a perfect metaphor for magic in dark times. Similarly in my WIP my MC finds comfort from his troubles by noting the ocean will always be there, rushing in and out. Acknowledging our small place in the universe, doesn't make us small but gives us much needed perspective. Thanks for sharing!

Stephanie, I'm not a religious person, but I have always had appreciation for the wisdom described in the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." It's so well-known and well-worn because the struggle to "know" is as long as our lives are lucky enough to be. Hugs.
