Pebbles Of Peace – Word Walls 5.10 –

New Peace in an Old Setting

I was not sure I could maintain my new view once I returned, even temporarily, to an old setting.

It has turned out that I can continue making progress in my new direction, though.

I am grateful to find that the work I have done to give myself a new view even carries over to old settings.

I now include a concise and comfortable temporary work space.

I am able to add to the inspiration I receive daily and to translate it into tangible words and products.

Printing and sewing resources are readily available.

My drives through familiar places do not evoke old feelings, only the remembrance that I once had to deal with them.

I feel I am on comfortable and safe ground.

I did not anticipate this.

I am truly looking at life from a completely new viewpoint.

I am so grateful to discover the effectiveness of how I have learned to rewrite my life.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.9 – Deep Peace in the Mojave

Some years ago…
Driving with husband in his new over-the-road bus to be converted into a PinewoodDerbyWorkshop…

There is deep peace and deep isolation as we cross the Mojave Desert.

The mountains and sparse vegetation vie a sense of largeness, with lots of spaces for the eye to wander.

During our long ascents and descents, my husband adjusts to a lower gear in our 47-passenger bus (soon to become a mobile woodshop).

The changes in greens, whenever there is a little bit more of it, are dramatic.

The gray-greens, sand-browns and lava-blacks outline long stretches of contour.

The cacti that are beginning to appear feel like a celebration.

There is room for contemplation over the geologic upheaval which caused the Pacific Basin to recede to what is now the California coastline.

Big changes across eons of time.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.8 – Outward and Upward

What is the act that will lead outward?

What is the act that will lead upward?

What is the spontaneous act that will convert the world?

We are looking for caring, giving, sharing, compassion, kindness.

We are practicing self-centeredness, protection, and building walls.

When will we see we are all loved, cherished and adored?

That it does not depend on the things that walls are made of.

Differences bring us together, invigorate us, expand our empathy.

Needing less, we can share more.

Forgetting self-justification, we can act with certainty and understanding.

Can we restore ourselves to higher ground?

Can we include everyone?

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.7 – Converging in Peace

Our peace within emits an atmosphere all around us.

Others feel it and take notice.

It activates the peace within them.

Soon, we are all spreading peace.

Since it comes from within, we finally realize our connection with an Unlimited Source.

This is how we can keep sharing it.

Soon the peace we are all releasing through our personal attitudes and work habits will overtake the distractions pummeling at us.

We will be so happy in our peace expression that all the institutions of distraction and disturbance will simply have no effect.

We will see a shift in our world view.

We will see the day of Peace Convergences.

Pebbles of Peace Word Walls – 5.6 – The Inner Peace

When your mind finds the peace and outlet it is seeking, it is like no other feeling.

The combination of action from idea to fulfillment is striking.

The assurance of peaceful and harmonious production is extraordinary.

I am convinced that it was necessary to walk this path.

I went from years of disruptive internal disturbance to create all the inner support and strength and insight to bring this new direction to pass.

Although I did not enjoy the process, it is worth what it cost to get here.

I can reestablish my peace more and more quickly whenever I need to, and I find I can stay on my path more and more consistently.

I have tools, techniques, an inner balance, a calm inspiration, a desire to uplift and share that never quits.

I know who I am and I am delighted with her.

I have deep and abiding inner peace and confidence and joy in my new direction.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.5 –

The Higher Path

There is a higher path to peace and freedom.

The one we are surrounded by is not it.

We are not limited folks with limited lives.

We are not the kind of creation that can be managed and controlled by bullies.

We each have infinite spiritual dimension.

We each have a defined spiritual gift and path.

Following that path leads us into a different kind of life.

When we listen within and take action we are empowered in a different way.

Our inner thoughts always lead upward and outward.

What we do blesses ourselves and all others within the range of our thought.

Let’s not allow ourselves the negative luxury of staying stuck.

We have the inspiration, we have the motivation, we have the means.

Let’s take the higher path.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.4 – Soaking Up More Peace

I have been spending whole days, several in a row, on our land, just looking at the trees across the meadow, the meadow itself, and up the hill where I can see more and more as the leaves fall.

I simply prefer to be there.

I can read, reflect, and write.

Looking through my most recent spirals, I see a lot of creative work which I am transcribing now that I am in an internet cafe and have access to electricity.

We will add solar power and I will have electricity out in the country sometime, as well.

That will save me transcription time, but for now this is a wonderful opportunity to keep soaking up the peace.

There is always more peace as I watch “Deer Theatre”, “The New Vulture Hour”, and observe how the meadow is reestablishing its grasses and flowers now that we are not mowing it.

The succession that we read about in Nature is actually visibly happening in front of me.

This morning, we watched three deer playing in the meadow, running around and leaping for several minutes.

As they disappeared into the forest at the South end of the meadow, a young buck entered it from the North end and walked across.

This is the first buck we have seen in the meadow.  We usually just hear his “huff” as he warns the does to leave.

I take care of what I need in order to carry out a normal days’ activities, but oh, it is so very pleasant out here breathing in the normal rhythm of Nature’s day.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.3 – The Most Fun Peace 

The deepest and happiest and most fun peace is being in accord with who you really are.

It is all well and good to “bloom where you are planted”.

It is fine to practice discipline.

But it is not OK to be satisfied with that.

There is a purpose for your life here.

You are an individual, and the dream you have been having your whole life is what you are here for.

To be that person.

To live your dream.

To have the most fun it is possible to have, living as who you are.

We are all wonderful!

We simply do not fit a mold, any mold.

We are individuals.

We have individual purposes to fulfill.

No one can direct us.

It is our own path.

No one even has a hint of what someone else’s path is.

Have fun.

Go do it.

Be who you are.

It is worth whatever you have to go through to be it.

It is the only way you will truly live your life and make the contribution you are here to make.

Pebbles of Peace – Word Walls 5.2 – Timeless

(written 2014-10-6 In Missouri in the country)

It is timeless out here in our little country cabin.

I watch the changing light, both seasonal and progressively during the day.

I can see farther into the forest as more and more leaves fall.

The summac is turning bight red.

New, tiny flowers, magenta, pale lavender, and yellow, are appearing in the meadow grasses.

I never never been so attuned to Nature, so close.

Bugs are my new friends.

Such a variety and so many activities.

Spiders capturing and eating webworms.

Dragonflies dipping and buzzing across the meadow.

New tiny lizards run from their newest hang-outs when I walk past.

They are bigger every time I see them.

And of course there is “Deer Theatre”.

I feel the time changing.

It is a natural process.

I am no longer rushed.

Pebbles of Peace Word Wall 5.1 – A Spiritual Message to Make Me Feel Good

That’s what I am listening for.

The message that will make me feel good is this:

We are not at war.

We respect everyone and everything that lives on the earth.

We choose to share our resources widely so that everyone can live well.

We choose to respect that everyone has rights and needs.

We choose to respect that those needs are fulfilled in different ways for different people.

How can I help?

Do I just need to stay out of the way?

I feel I need to share these ideas in all the ways that I can express myself, through  blogs, children’s songs, conversations.

Let us all evolve and develop and grow in the ways that let all of us live well.
