What Does Peace Mean To You?
Prompt: 28.09–04.10
For me, peace is not something to seek. It is something that you become aware of.
You could be doing the laundry and suddenly realise how soft your fluffy socks are, petting your dog one morning and getting lost in their lovely long lashes, doing a vigorous workout and fall into a flow or when you meditate and become one with the energy around you that peace wraps you up like a warm blanket. You could even find peace right in the middle of a heated argument when you realise it isn’t worth spending your energy on. You catch yourself peacefully watching rays of the sun through leaves of a big banyan tree. You could be sitting with your friends one evening and suddenly realise how your life is good and peaceful. You watch your mother fluttering around her house doing chores to keep herself occupied and you smile peacefully to yourself.
We do not necessarily need to run to the hills or a quiet ocean to find peace. You could do everything necessary to seek a feeling and still not be satisfied. It is in letting go, believing in the process, going with the flow and un-attaching yourself to outcomes that you truly find peace.
It is here, now.
