Unrushed Peace


This morning, as I watch snow gently float from the sky, I have a sense of calm. There is no appointment or agenda to rush my morning and my mind is settled into the calm like you snuggle into a cozy arm chair with a blanket. I am enjoying this unrushed peace.

There is something about a quiet day that helps center you. You can feel your breath moving in and out of your body. In the comfortable calm you can sort through the mayhem of your life and make some sense of the senseless. Most of all you are calm and comfortable and focused on remaining that way for as long as you can.

Meditation and reflection are an important part of feeding our souls. Things like sitting quietly, praying, writing and listening to music help nourish our inner being. Sleeping helps our bodies grow and heal and meditation and calm help our souls to grow and heal. Our souls are our core and with a solid core we can sustain through the hardest days and weeks.

I hope that today you are able to reflect for a time, focusing on your breath, the quiet gently falling snow and your inner peace. Regenerating your tired and weakened spirit and recharging yourself for the new challenges that you will face as we all do each day. Tuck your mind into a comfortable place and wrap yourself in the warmth of self love and caring and for a time enjoy some unrushed peace.
