Peace:
If someone asked me what the experience of peacefulness is like, I wonder what the response should be?
Would I say a world without war and killing?
Would I say like the Garden of Eden, a Utopia?
Would I say no more hunger, no more poverty, everyone helping everyone?
These things would certainly be a wonder to behold and yet these dreams, I do not give much thought to.
For I would never tell humanity it must fight for peace, and I know not what the mindset of humanity will choose to do tomorrow.
Yet to the few ears that do listen to what I say, here is my experience of Peace.
I awake with a feeling thankfulness in the morning and get out of bed and nothing has moved.
I go about my daily chores and still nothing has moved.
I listen to the sounds of life entering my apartment through open windows, the urban noise of cars, people, work crews and their machines and still only silence has occurred.
I sit in prayerful stillness and allow a thought of Nature and I smell the tress, hear the birds and animals sing their thankfulness.
I feel the warmth of the sun upon me being cooled by a breeze and still nothing has moved.
I arise and watch the news of the world today, the protests for freedom, the wars, the business ups and downs, the socials events occurring, the many inspiring stories of people blessing people.
And with all that I bow my head for who could not be thankful upon seeing so much occurring, and still nothing has moved.
And within this stillness going on, poetic words of song fill my consciousness singing praise to such a Divine Glory that danced today and still there is only silence.
I then will lay my head down upon my pillow in the evening and with an inward smile I thankfully say as a silent still breath, ‘Ah Love.’ and drift off into not going anywhere or doing anything.
So in sharing all of this, what is ‘Peace’?
“I would have to say Peace is when one sees so much bounty occurring and still knows nothing has ever moved or broken the silence.”
Yes I would say this is peace, but what do I know, Ha Ha! Maybe Nothing!
All My Love
