Journey into Peace

.
We are all on a journey.
In an ideal world that journey would be a peaceful one, yet for most of us it turns out it is a journey that has its peaceful moments as we are involved with the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives.

There are always so many things to do! Just the practical things like grocery shopping, doing the laundry, cleaning the house... Staying in touch with friends and family. And then there are the demands  our jobs put on us.
All these things are just the normal things we encounter living our lives ~ all these things also make us very busy people as we try and keep up with them, juggling our calendars to make everything fit. It seems that all too often we have a tendency to overcommit ourselves. To want to do more than our time or our energy allows for.
And as we are so intent on ‘what is next’, we may forget to make time to take a deep breath and focus on the sense of peace we so desire.

This changes with the arrival of Winter, as our energy turns more inward. Suddenly the yearning for that quiet place, that peaceful space within ourselves is right there.
The Holiday Season then gives us the time (at least after all the shopping and gift-wrapping is taken care of) to direct our attention to other things, new things. To our plans. To thoughts on what would make this world a really beautiful place to be in...
We wish for a peaceful world. And perhaps even for some peace and quiet. Because deep inside we know that all our creative endeavors, all the new and wonderful plans we want to bring into our reality these coming seasons can only stem from that point of peace deep inside ourselves.

It makes this time of year a great time to take that journey to that peaceful quiescence in the core of our being. To connect with the reality of ourselves from where we can be aware of the things we need rather than the things we want, or the responsibilities, the obligations we have.

As we permit that peaceful quiescence to fill us, as we start breathing in that stillness while exhaling peace ~ we quietly start spreading that energy that is ‘peace’ from inside ourselves to the world around us.
And the stronger our personal journey into peace becomes, the better can we observe our potential, perceive our creativity, and distinguish ways to make them work for us in a practical, productive manner in our lives.

We are all on a Journey into Peace ~ every step of the way as we are discovering our brilliant uniqueness and are unfolding our greatest potentials.
