This makes me think of Superman's fortress of solitude. I don't remember the details, but I grew up on Christopher Reeve as Superman and remember him visiting the fortress of solitude, a safe and quiet place. Peter is sort of urging us to have the same thing in the center of our being, formed out of the knowledge that we are loved and protected by God. When we truly believe that the only thing death can do to us is make us better, and when we pair that with the knowledge that we are ultimately loved by the God who created the universe and holds all things together in God's powerful right hand, then we need not fear the storms that rage and the winds that howl and the things that go bump in the night.
