May I share my Peace Vision with you? My vision is that Peace happens when human beings know, each moment, that they are enough and have enough, REGARDLESS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES! That "regardless" part is key, because most humans think that when they do more they will have more and THEN experience Peace and satisfaction. Hence, the relentless drive to do in order to have, which I fondly refer to as "do do"! When I know I am enough I can choose lovingly and powerfully from a Peaceful place what I will do.
May you know that you are enough and have enough today! Peace!
Love,
Darlene

Peace Dance!
A woman dances
and the music loves her.
Knowing, she bends, whirls, turns and leaps
loving the music
as it catches her
and sets her lightly, softly, gently down
to kneel, grateful for the dance.
If you knew that you were loved today, beyond all reason, and that love would catch you when you leaped, could you be Peace? Give it a whirl!
Love,
Darlene

"No self, no problem!"
This quote from Jack Kornfield is a surefire prescription for Peace. He's pointing to that self we think we are: You know, THAT SELF; the one that has to be in control, that has to know how it's going to turn out, that has to be perfect, that judges you and everyone else even when you're asleep, that exhausting, indefatigable source of incessant head clatter? THAT SELF!
The question is, "How do I get THAT SELF out of the way"? The "how" is hidden in Jack's quote. What if you didn't believe, just for today on Peace Tuesday, that THAT SELF was real? What if you pretended that your disempowering thoughts, your judgments and assessments were not the you that matters, not the real you?
Imagine the space that would be left if you emptied out all of the NOT SELF/THAT SELF and simply rested. So Space Cadet, as a practice today, notice your disempowering thoughts and don't believe them! Do this and I promise you Peace.
Love,
Darlene

Peace and reconciliation
Who might you reconcile with this week? We invite Peace into our lives when we are willing to let go of differences or disagreements, when we realize that the cost of holding on to grudges is the loss of tranquility and joy; ours AND theirs. We create Peace for ourselves by giving up our need to be right about being wronged. And we create Peace for those we blame by doing the same thing! And that's a "twofer"! Yowza!
Who will you reconcile with this week?
Love,
Darlene
