All her life,
She wanted love,
Peace,
And freedom.
She wanted to love.
She wanted to be loved.
She wanted peace,
Inside and out.
She wanted freedom from the chaos within and around her.
From as young as she can remember,
She chased love outside herself.
Longed for love outside herself.
Would do anything to feel love.
Running from herself towards people,
Places,
And things.
Hoping to find the love she sought.
The love she felt she lacked.
The love she thought she needed.
Eventually,
She grew tired of running and chasing.
Her mind and body were now paying the price.
It was exhausting.
She was tired.
The only thing left to do was to stop the running.
Stop the chasing.
And slow down.
Slow down the mind.
Slow down the body.
Slow down to life.
In this slowing down,
She realized this is where the love is.
This is where the love has been all along.
This is where the peace is she so desperately spent a lifetime chasing after,
Trying to create.
This is where the peace has been all along.
Finally,
She realized that in slowing down,
This is where her freedom has been too.
This is where her freedom has been all along.
Instead of running,
Chasing after love,
Exhausting herself,
She now knows it comes from within.
Simply by placing her hand on her heart,
Coming to stillness and silence,
Closing her eyes,
And taking in a deep breath,
She feels the love she always wanted and needed.
In this stillness and silence lives the peace she sought after for decades.
With her heart feeling safe and open,
Love can easily flow.
Peace can be felt and experienced both in the mind and body.
With love and peace come the allowing and welcoming of freedom.
She didn't know love,
Peace,
And freedom lived inside herself.
Now she knows.
The running,
The chasing,
The seeking has all subsided,
Allowing for love,
Peace,
And freedom to be the place she lives her life from,
Her foundation.
May you find the love,
Peace,
And freedom you have been seeking in the stillness and silence that awaits within.
Namaste.
