Self-Correcting Universe

Writing today to let you all know that things have been set right in the world. After some bizarre experiences in the YMCA locker room, I decided to give it one more try. I had a nice float in the pool (I don't swim but I am naturally buoyant), then braved the sauna. Miracle of all miracles, it was empty AND blazing hot. I settled in for a long soak, delighted to have the whole place to myself: no grape seed oil nutjobs or flatulant body cleansers; just me... and a deep rich baritone voice coming from outside the sauna. The voice gave perfect rendering of a gospel song I had never heard (I've got peace like a river). And, although I even lack the energy and conviction required to be an atheist (trust me - believing in nothing can be exhausting!), I found the experience quite pleasant. 

I've got peace like a river  
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
