Peace comes in many different forms
All around,
challenges that push and shove,
faces that comfort us,
and friends that we love
And somewhere in between the myriad of experience,
there's drips and drops of something indescribable
after a long night out as you sit with yourself,
on the empty train to work,
as you stir the steaming veggies for dinner,
while you wait for the school children to cross the road,
peace has no appearance, no place, and almost no name
but it is also a highly sought after resource
especially in the bustling world of today
Just last night,
a friend had described to me her unending joy in having returned to Canada from Thailand.
-"There's just... so much... going on.. "
Having been there myself, I know exactly what she's talking about, however I had different feeling while wading through the crowds.
Through my journey,
I found my peace within the chaos -
The scraggly wires hanging down everywhere, supporting the cities energy demands,
A million and one stray cats, curious if you'll feed them but not willing to take the risk
Train cars FULL of lively and determined humans,
cities with no end
It is like a mountain,
and just as one can climb to the top and finally feel the dream they've been holding onto,
one can also make it to base camp and wonder just what the hell is going on.
Capacities, thresholds, and orbits. 3 words that drop into my mind as a hint from the other side.
Your capacity for intensity will lay the ground rules for where peace lies for you,
Your threshold for new and obscure realities will help you find peace in weird situations,
and your orbit.. or rather, your PLACEMENT in the grand scheme/pattern/logos - is the factor which determines input for the first 2.
Through life, it's important to understand these 3 ideas in order to move toward peace.
Where are you?
What challenges you?
Where do you want to go?
It's not necessary to answer these questions, but it's necessary to think about them, and find your own meaning within the ideas.
Thanks for reading all the way down here, I hope this provides a bit more clarity for those of us who seek the unknowable.
