‘PEACING’ THE PRESENT
‘PEACING’ THE PRESENT
So much of the precious time and energy of our life is mis placed and mis directed. We spend our precious time and energy caught in disappointment and despair about ‘the has been’ and in fear and frustration about ‘the might be’!
Yes, caught in the pains of the past and the fears about the future.
However, life is always and only just here and just now. So if it is peace, calm and joy that we really seek, why not find this, feel this and focus on this exactly where we are; where and when our life is taking place?
I offer this verse in consideration of this possibility.
John B.
We do surmise and we do suffice;
We do search and we do seek.
We do stress and we do strain;
We do struggle and we do suffer.
And what is the aim that we endeavour to gain;
To get, to have, to harbor to hold;
To feel and to be?
Is it not to feel and be Happy?
Yet simply and profoundly,
The happiness that we really search and seek for
Is the happiness that is Peace;
Peace, contentment, ease and a gracious joy.
So, if it is Real Peace, Profound Peace,
Sustainable Peace that we really seek;
Why not focus on that and know,
What brings, supports, sustains and maintains that peace abiding?
Our life is always only just here and just now;
This place, this time, this happening.
Let’s not focus on fulfillment in the next, later or other; let’s find, focus and feel it right here and now.
Make ‘Peacing’ the present; just this here and just this now; the Perfect Practice!
