  • Soaking up the peace

    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.

  • Pressing of Events

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.16 –
    Pressing of Events

    As I notice the events taking place in the world, I have my opinion and my evaluation.

    I react accordingly.

    But I notice that if I put it all in the context of a much bigger social evolution, things seem quite different.

    It takes a lot of discomfort to change the status quo.

    It takes a lot of bad practice to expose the weaknesses in a social or governmental structure.

    It takes a tremendous amount of effort to redirect the thought of all humanity to consider other courses of action.

    All those things are happening now.

    With our wider communication, comes wider awareness.

    With our wider awareness comes wider compassion.

    With our wider compassion comes a desire to effect change.

    This is happening spontaneously in all parts of the world.

    Discomfort, awareness, communication, compassion, action.

    We are approaching a tipping point.

    So many things are converging.

    As a small child, I was taught that one particle of truth outweighs an entire football field of error.

    All the truth of liberty, equality, fraternity, is converging in every country, every belief system, every culture.

    The truth of it.

    And so, let us see how these grains of truth establish a much, much better practice for all of us.

  • Many events converge and grow along my life-path.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #4 Many events converge and grow along my life-path.

    I am often surprised by what happens along my life-path.

    After all, this is the first time I have walked here.

    There are many new experiences as I take my steps.

    There are new people to meet.

    Mostly, each day moves in a familiar pattern.

    As I grow, my day includes more and more fulfillment.

    I ask to discover what I love to do.

    I take my tiny steps as I am guided.

    How can my talents and interests best serve?

    Who may be benefitted?

    Although I do not see it moment by moment, there are qualities of life that are being developed.

    There are actions which bring me into my purpose.

    I become conscious of this as I contemplate my existence.

    I notice the events which have occurred and choices I have made.

    They shape me and my path.

    I can make more conscious choices once I realize that.

    I can listen more deeply to feel the direction I am meant to go.

    I may have a specific goal.

    My goal may be to listen quietly.

    I know I am being brought into the events which will cause me to grow most deeply.

    As I notice my surroundings, I can feel the Presence.

    I can feel the ideas which guide me.

    I can listen for when and how to take action.

    I can trust how events come together in an uplifting way.

    I am in a good place to listen and to grow.
