Peace of mind. It seems the trap in seeking peace of mind is that peace itself is pretty much momentary. The peace of mind we envision is more like the mindlessness of a lobotomy...an endless land of no worry, but an endless land of no joy either.
It requires an adjustment that we never considered when we finally realize that peace of mind does not settle down and stay...like a well-trained dog. Peace cannot be held...it is either moving forward or it dissipates, and we are at un-peace again.
We know peace in the moment or we are seeking peace.
The secret we learn and are awed by is that we seek not to get peace for our own self but to pass peace on to others as much in need as we feel.
Then our Big Bang: To live the peace we seek, resist nothing. Work with the unworkable. Accept the unacceptable. Love the unlovable.
All of that is possible not by letting our world put on its cleats and take a run across our face...no, it is possible, peacefully, by our decision to let go and let God.
Our life then becomes learning the lesson of letting God use our hands, our feet, our tongues, our brains, and then doing that.
We may get there three days after we're dead, but we're heading in the right direction every minute. There. That's where peace lives.
Thank you.
