As I have sat and listened to people talk about

their lives, and I ask questions such as, “What

would it be like if you were able to let this

thought or feeling go,” they almost always give

a similar answer around something to do with

—peace

Peace is a powerful notion for a heart that is seeking solace.

All of mankind can relate, at least on some level, to this.

But perhaps peace is a also precursor,

a doorway emotion that leads to other wonderful things,

but must be experienced first to amplify the sound of the rest.

A baseline of calm necessary before joy or delight

or other goodness can fully arrive

~~~~

Maybe that is why Someone Divine once said,

“My peace I leave with you; my peace I give you,”

knowing that this is a significant gift

with power to soothe souls who are crying

out in desperation for many other things

—but first of all for peace
