Question

In what can someone find something peaceful to ponder on when the events in life become too surprising?

Answer 1

My old standby for that is listening to music, but reading a good book can also work.

Answer 2

I like to take a long walk in the countryside. Fresh air, blue skies, green leafs and vibrant trees. The trees have endured so much and have a strength and constancy about them. We're all so small and here for such a short amount of time. Find yourself at one with nature if you can.

Answer 3

memories.

a good book.

letters by or to a love lost.

pictures from your past.

a chat with a good old friend.

a beautiful view.

a child's laughter.

a good dinner.

the company of a beloved.

a movie.

or:

the surprise life has given to you, and its outcome.

Answer 4

Go to the library and wander the stacks until a book title catches your eye.

then read it.

Answer 5

nice to have suprises in life

Answer 6

It depends...how good is your imagination?

I'd suggest something unreasonably cute that warms your heart. I recently bought a stuffed animal that is just the highlight of my life...

Answer 7

Books and music are always a safe bet.

Grosse Point Blank does wonders for me for some reason.

But more than any of these are those close to you that you can still trust. Sometimes just opening up does wonders.

Answer 8

The memories that we keep from times not so surprising...or moments when the world wasn't so chaotic, when we could predict the moments in our lives more effortlessly.
