Unremembered Peace

Howard Thurman spoke powerful words when he said, ” Whatever may be the tensions and the stresses of a particular day, there is always lurking close at hand the trailing beauty of forgotten joy or unremembered peace.” There is much going on in the world today and yesterday that can remind us of the tensions and stresses that we have created. But we have alternative ways of looking at our experience. What we are observing is the ego’s desire to keep us in a fearful and thus controlled space. We know better. At the core of our being, we know that all is well. We have access to immeasurable joy that can keep us from becoming overwhelmed with fear. Tap into that place. Close your eyes and ears for a moment. Notice the stillness and let it wash over you. In that moment Spirit surrounds you and nothing material will be important to you. All things come and go, but Spirit is a constant presence in our lives – a presence that helps us to remember peace. How do you find peace in this tense world?
