Poise is my right

Pebbles of Peace –

Poise is my right

I have a right to poise.

I have a right to living an undisturbed life.

I have a right to be able to establish calm for myself every time I need it.

It may seem presumptuous to ask for calm in today’s world.

It may seem reasonable to lose poise considering the state of the world.

All the fears which come from the world’s problems trickling down into our individual lives may feel inescapable.

The solution which I have found is poise.

What my thought is poised on gives me a clue.

Am I focused on fear and uncertainty?

Am I focused on a deeper reality?

How I answer the question determines my poise.

I know that I can find answers when I listen within.

Is the world too loud for me?

I must determine to listen within anyway.

Is the world’s condition being interpreted for me?

Or can I create my own conditions in the world?

I can create a moment of peace for myself.

I can take a deep breath and in that moment, I can feel peace.

I can regain my poise by doing this over and over again until I can hear direction from within.

In that moment, I regain my poise.

If I need to take action, even extreme action, I can.

If I need to remain in a peaceful state, I can.

I can move or I can wait with poise.

This is my right, to make that decision.
