Inner Peace

Peace is...the love you feel welling up in your heart
the moment you think of your love,
beauty, simple presence, gleaming smile...

It is the bright countenance of face and widening of eyes that
two friends share who haven't seen each other in years

What is peace but an extension of inner peace,
and what is inner peace but an extension of the
soul in love with eternal being...

Nourished...and nourishing...the source...of life...

And yet, how do we open this fount of inner peace each day?
Allowing it to stream into our lonely lives...

We can begin by honoring the elements of life, the the expressions of being,
and the spectacular qualities of nature...

And then live each day, each activity, each moment,
as if it was our first, our last, and everything in between,
with reverence for the spirit that is form...

And we can begin by honoring the archetypes that pervade existence...
simply by asking what is the essence of the life force that moves in us,
lives in us, breathes in us, dwells within...

Only through aligning with these cosmic forces can we let their light through
to shine on the great playful stage of spiritual drama,
and at last be attained by inner peace...
