Coming Home To Peace

Take a moment.

Let your body settle.

Feel the weight of yourself supported by the chair or the floor or the bed.

Notice the rhythm of your breath.

No need to change anything.

Just allow yourself to arrive in this moment.

Beneath all the thinking,

Beneath all the stories,

There is a quiet space,

A calm presence,

Always here,

Waiting quietly for us to notice.

Thoughts come and thoughts go.

Worries,

Plans,

Memories,

Hopes,

Frustrations,

Irritations.

And yet,

Behind them all,

There is a stillness that does not move.

A sense of being that simply is.

Always present,

Always gentle,

Always whole.

Sometimes we look outside,

Hoping for peace,

As if it was somewhere we could find.

But what if it has been here all along?

What if peace and love are not things to chase,

But the natural quality of who we truly are?

In this moment,

Allow yourself to feel it.

The quiet,

The ease,

The openness that is always underneath the surface.

No need to hold it.

No need to grasp it.

Just notice it.

Even as thoughts return,

Even as the day continues,

This quiet presence remains untouched.

Endlessly patient,

Endlessly loving.

It is who you truly are.

Love and peace.

And as you move through your day,

Remember,

You are already home,

Right here,

In the love and peace that is you,

And always will be you.

Never,

It can never leave you,

And it never will.

I invite you to take a breath,

Take a deep breath,

And carry this with you.
