Lost Peace Mood
Friday, May 30, 2008

" We are people who have lost our peace.  Having lost it, we look for it everywhere.  We more than look: In fact, we grab desparately.  Until we remember that our own capacity to love is what we truly seek, we are doomed to endless compulsion to look for happiness where there is none and for satisfaction where there is only longing.  Only a spiritual experience can sober us." from Illuminata

 

This is soo true!  I do grab desparately for things to fill the emptiness...why must we always be so busy?  If I just relax and allow the stillness to come; if I just allow the stillness to come and except it, it would make my life so much less chaotic.  But I have refused. Instead I look for outside stimulus to make me busy, happy, so I don't have that quiet within me.

 

Dear God, Today please give me the peace that You want me to have.  Help me to rid myself of the "uncomfortable" feeling of aloneness so that I may feel peace.  Allow me to feel You in the stillness.  Teach me to be comfortable with myself and stop grabbing!  Amen

    Have you ever been out in the wilderness...away from everything, all by yourself...surrounded by nature...making your mind go blank, concentrating on the wind, rustling of leaves in the trees, the babbling of a creek...the stillness and awe fill you, surround and move thru you. I think if you could find a private place like this, it might help in comforting you in your aloneness, because you are not alone...you are there with the tree, the rocks, wind, clouds...harmoniously connected. I even do it by going onto the deck late at night...feeling the rhythm of the wind thru the trees.
    You have all of it within you. You can accept it just as you've accepted me...the beauty and peace are there, just let go...you are safe.

    oodles!
