  • Grateful for the Peace

    Pebbles Of Peace Pathways – 3.18 – Grateful for the Peace

    Grateful for the Peace

    I am listening to birdsong, observing hummingbird wars around the feeders, feeling insects flit past my face, and looking at the layers of clouds above the lines of trees.

    Everything is fitting together.

    There is room for all the leaves on all the trees.

    Despite the hummingbird wars, they are coming to realize that there are many feeders and sometimes they can even share.

    The clouds pass at different heights.

    One birdsong does not interrupt another.

    Everything fits together peacefully.

    There is so much variety in the same space, but not everything utilizes the same resources.

    Sitting in my space, I am drawing on resources which have no other place than in my mind.

    All the inspiration that I have received from others has impelled me to look for my own.

    It has taken nothing from anyone else.

    It is just there for me to express in an individual way.

    Everything is like that.

    No one can use up all the numbers.

    No one can use up all the words.

    No one can restrict anyone else’s use of their individual resources.

    And these are what manifest around us in what we need.

    When we concentrate on our own individual unlimited resources, we are not drawn into the ridiculous feeling that something we need is being kept from us.

    We have the peace of everything fitting in, everything coming together in the way that most benefits each one of us.

  • Soaking up the peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.17 –

    Soaking Up the Peace is So Exciting

    I sit on our covered deck in the country and look across the meadow.

    The meadow is full of insect life, butterflies and birds.

    Beyond that are trees, and trees, and layers of trees.

    And layers of leaves, greens and yellows.

    Birdsong and insect sounds greatly throb in the air.

    I am soaking up the peace.

    An occasional breeze floats across all of us.

    The clouds move slowly.

    The joy of this peace, the dimension of this peace is so very exciting.
