Peace is a fascinating journey. First, it’s important to realize how much peace we don’t have. The mind is always picturing you as something different than what is really inside; there is an image or idea it’s sustaining about itself. But in reality, most of the time, we don’t have inner peace even though we try to convince ourselves we do. Realizing that peace is not present and we yearn for it is a pivotal first step. This will ignite the journey of self-discovery that will lead you to your own inner peace.
There is a peace that lies within, and is not the absence of conflict; it can be ever-present, even with conflict. It does not need any particular state or space for it to be there because it is. It’s a peace that emerges with witnessing, and it is fueled by amazement; it is a gift that is part of being.
