Such a comforting line this, from a letter by the German poet Hölderlin. 

The sky and the air embrace me like a cradle-song.

May they embrace you, too.  And here is another thought of Hölderlin, on a peaceful state of work; and in another letter, his admiration for a friend’s calmness of mind.  He himself had an uneasy relationship with calm.
