Where’s Peace…

for you.

So, I was out with the doggies earlier on this evening and I thought I would make you a wee video.

It wasn’t the easiest of ‘shoots’, I just managed to get out a ‘Hello’ before I was attacked by angry buzzy things, so it’s quick.

Peace.

Talking with a friend last night, we got onto why is India the go to destination for peeps seeking peace? 

Why do we have to go somewhere to connect with what is already here?

In my own life I’ve done a load of trips to ‘find’ something, but what I believe I go to find has never been what I’ve come back with, we spoke about that here.

I’ve been playing a lot in my head recently with this whole ‘peace’ thing and yes, I’m talking the inner peace variety.

I take myself away to this little spot a lot, it’s my India.

But I also believe that peace isn’t something outside, it’s an inside trip.

So, teach me, where is peace for you and where do you find it?

Notes of Inspiration 18

 

When did you last log out completely? Why not take some time away from all distractions: go to a new place, spend a day in the company of someone you love, call a friend, walk around the area where you live and capture it in camera. Living life is not just about work, it’s also about play.

What is stopping you doing it today? What is your first step, then your second, third, forth? Starting is always the first step. What step can you take today, no matter how small?

Don’t live in the past, it’s gone. Don’t live in the future, it’s not here yet. Everything you need for today is already here. What’s a miracle to you? What is in you right now that create waves?

Dear Human, You’ve Got It Wrong

A friend shared this.

It blew me away. Perfect prose.

I want to share it with you.

It goes like this…

Dear Human,

You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return.

You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often.

You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering. But unconditional love? Stop telling that story.

Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU.

It’s enough.

It’s Plenty.
