Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Peace

Peace

You cannot medicate your way to peace
alcohol, drugs, the many substances
will not make it

you cannot puff your way to its perfection
stretching, straining, the many self-improvements
only make it harder

you cannot earn your way to its security
accounts, position, the many material things
more is never enough

but there it is, still, what we most need, what we most want.

Peace , so needed, so necessary, so elusive
the tiniest disturbance, a pain, a worry
and it’s nowhere

where did it go?

more to the point, how marvellously strange it is
how in this world, in nature,
where everything is eating everything else
where the survival of the fittest means the hardest worriers survive
that peace
beautiful, love-filled, abundant, endless peace
comes
always
to whoever stops trying to find it

Re: Peace

what's the difference between a piece of peace and another nugget of negation?

Re: Peace

On a bright sunny cool spring day all the selves ventured out, dressed in their best....
the sweet fresh air simply magical, touching everything, caressing freely, their oh so lovely sweet faces...nothing left un touched....:-)
