"Peace starts within us ... we cannot bring to the world
what we do not have to offer."
Daily Om
Peace begins within us. Too often we believe we must go on a vision quest or a spiritual retreat to find peace. We anticipate the next book we devour or the forthcoming mentor will move us forward into calm, surrender, and joy.
Those who embrace pauses with silence can discern the way to momentary spaces of tranquility. Do they still experience loss, disappointment, and chaotic life? Of course they do, there is no way to avoid these elements of life.
The peaceful person plugs into available elements of quiet. Simply looking up to the sky, sitting against a tree or wading in water diverts our energy away from the chaos of life. The key is to not sink our energy into what we cannot control. Streamline energy into the pauses of relief to continue forward, not stuck in dismay.
