THE RIVER OF PEACE

I think of inner peace like a river that flows through us. Sometimes we might feel like we’re on dry ground, with nothing growing in the earth. There’s no texture, no color, no shelter. Then a trickle of peace springs from the hard earth, glistens in the light, and starts to run over the cracked ground, finding the old riverbeds.

As the water bubbles up and moves along the valley, things happen. Blades of grass begin to grow on the riverbank. Seeds lying in that parched earth sprout and flower. Bugs arrive to eat the grass and the leaves. Bigger bugs want to eat the small bugs, and they attract birds looking for food, and the birds are bringing in all sorts of other seeds, and the seeds fall onto the now fertile ground.

Here come the trees, and the branches are heavy with ripe fruit, and there is every imaginable leaf color and leaf pattern blazing a glorious painting from one side of the horizon to the other, and insect chatter and birdsong fill the air with music. Sweet perfumes float over the vast forest like an invitation for all life to come join the party of joyful creation.

Each plant’s and creature’s evolution has unique elements, but all of them need water if they are to flourish. Peace is the water that enables life to blossom. I give gratitude for the peace that flows through my life, for the existence I have been blessed with, and for the many colors and patterns of life that bloom for me whenever I connect with myself.
