It is not to be learned by world-flight, running away from things, turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, one must learn an inner solitude....One must learn to penetrate things and find God there.... - Meister Eckhart
There it is: My personally favorite way to find peace of mind; to wit, find the sliver of gold in whatever is causing us pause, and we will have peace. Or, per Eckhart, learn to penetrate things and find God there.
No matter how slight the sliver of gold may seem, we mentally grab hold and let naught else enter our mind. As we focus on the good, it expands filling us with peace. Our outward "pauser" will not necessarily change, but it will no longer adversely matter now. In effect, we have just kissed it on the lips...we can smile and move on.
God. gold, good...all One. Ah, transmuted...all love and laughter.
Thank you.
