Peace



A simple phrase, yet, such profound meaning in our lives. Peace.

Peace…

The simple sense of tranquility and soundness experienced in our body and soul, when everything feels just right.

So serene. So calm. The word peace itself has a warm calming effect on my mind.

When you are in the moment….

when you are completely at ease….

with yourself and your surroundings.

A flutter of a butterfly’s wings,

The twitter of a bird on the porch,

The calm morning slowly lifting the sleepiness of the night

The peace you feel early in the morning.

The peace you feel in the arms of the one you love.

Its an amazing feeling…to be stationary, to be peaceful and watch everyone and everything from this perspective. Like a bird, from a mountaintop, perched gently among the mist…and gazing at the world. The hurry, the military behavior, the routine, frozen in a slot of time, created by man, for man…..running to keep up. In pursuit of a perfect life.

A perfect life….is a perfect lie.
Because life is temporary. Ain’t it? :)

Peace be upon you all.
