I know where Peace lives…
It is in Nature’s voice..
when your heart is listening.
Enjoying simple good food
Making new friends in unexpected places
Breathing in, I accept its healing
Breathing out, I release my fear
It is in the smiles of loved ones
and dances on the wind
It embraces those whose purpose is joy
and celebrates the hearts of children
with their special magic
and unadulterated joy in living
It is in the precious and fleeting moments-
an unexpected flight aboard a mystical indoor wheel of color and light!
It glows with eager anticipation!
It’s message is etched on the faces of lifelong friends
and it giggles at human frivolity
It marvels at Earth’s reverence,
awed by glistening dewdrops
and the constancy of signs
It enfolds the weary in Eternity’s Love and carries them home.
It encourages our purpose
and wonders as we play
if we believe its promise
to console at close of day
Yes, it seems elusive
as we seek and wait
and cry.
We beg and hope in vain-
we wring our hands
and wonder why..
When?
Where?
How?
It isn’t something yet to find
or memories we left behind.
Be still, so quiet, look within-
for therein Peace
resides, my friend.
We are truly walking each other home. 🤗🤗🤗

ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. The world should perhaps stop praying for peace, as though it is something out of reach but rather embrace the peace that is so freely given to us. Every soul has the power to change the world by changing within.
DeleteBeautifully said. It's something we should all remember.
