Today was a good day for a good day!.Despite the gloomy weather outside at the start of the day, it was a beautiful start in home. The day was dotted with laughter, banter, discussion, music, carom frenzy , and individual and shared activities. The day included moments of learning , reading and inspiration in home and from staff and parents thinking out of the box to make a new system of education work for some incredibly beautiful kids. To add to this , we indulged our four legged baby to his heart's content and he expressed his joy to our hearts' content. I would call it a " beautiful" day or perhaps a " heartwarming" " peaceful" day.
As we stepped out for yet another walk, we met some delightful neighbors who commented " Isn't it all so peaceful", and further down a few dog parent friends who kind of stated the same" Gotta love this peace and quiet"!
Peace was the piece i had on my mind as i came back home. Each of us talked about and perhaps experienced this peace in different ways...or maybe it was the same. Is peace an internal starting place radiating outward, or an amalgamation of things/states of being inside and outside? Is there a perfect ratio? What defines peace for each individual? Can we hold the feeling? If we can create a meditative, mindful bubble for ourselves, will nothing break the bubble? Can a replication of a similar day replicate the feeling of peace?
We are blessed to stay in home but many are on the forefront are battling this pandemic head on. I wonder how they define peace?.It is definitely not an ongoing state, but moments that received our complete awareness, attention and recognition as being "peaceful" .
As varied the definitions of peace may be for each individual, we humans are all so interconnected by our relationship and strife towards balance in the" thought -emotion- behavior" drama in our varied roles. But keep us humans aside, the entire universe, nature seems to have found " peace" in their synchronization and alignment. If each of us figure all our individual pieces that define our individual peace, will it guarantee peaceful co existence and peace on earth?
Just a piece to ponder over.
