Finding Peace
There is no deeper charge on our lives than the journey into true self. It is not as elusive as we've been taught. Most of us get distracted by what we don't have and others do. It is the growing ground of ego and fear. A shame producing journey born out of selfish longings fueled by greed. Greed for everything we don't have. Relationships, cash, happiness, hot spouse, great house, place, self worth. Unfortunately it is the tune we sing and hum when we are less than attentive to who we really are. We can choose to drop the fixation of not having, not “being” whatever “they” think we should be or even the brutal punishment we place on ourselves for not living up to “potential.” Peace is reality in the experience of God, but it also means chasing people, places and things for happiness will need a bit of checking. Our experience with the Divine slows us down to see all is not lost simply because we don't “have.” Because what we do have deep in us (love) is so consuming nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever feel so alarmingly good than the tender touch of a creator loving her creation. It comes as you start to look in the mirror with courage. The ability to live outside of self just long enough to endeavor to know you lose your life to find it.
