Peace for No Reason
Today’s Miraculous Awareness

Sharing by Mary

This has been a week of real connections with those in my midst
splattered with the stark contrast of a lot of lack of peace. How come I
experience connection here, but not there? What was the secret to love
being given and received then but not now?

Lost in the loop of seeking peace outside of myself ~ in this activity, but
not that one, with this person, but not with that person, today, but not
tomorrow ~ what’s going on? If only my peace was not so fleeting. If only
I didn’t seek peace everywhere, but within, and in everyone, but within
my Real Self.

Pausing from my lack of peace, I asked within,
“Why can’t I have Peace for no reason?”
I realized, I can. And not only can I have
Peace for no reason, but that is the only True Peace there IS.

Peace for no reason

Baby is crying
Guards at the gate
People on the streets,
Looking for hate.

I thought I’d seen it all
Season after season
In the rise and the fall
Searching for Peace caused by some reason.

Some lessons I have learned,
Some I am still learning.
Wondering if I’ll ever be free
of this yearning.

This life has taught me a thing or two.
The first is to never stop loving
the many and the few.
And in those moments that I don’t feel loved back.
I can Pause for LOVE within
Not fooled by any sense of lack.

I thought I’d seen it all
Season upon season
In the rise and the fall
Hunting for Peace caused by some reason.

Why can’t I just have Peace for no reason?
How come this longing
Is always for a different season?
The answer came clearly
Silent words spoken within
The Peace you seek is always in your mind
Not a future event in a far away time.

Now I have seen it All
No more waiting on the perfect season
Not wishing on the rise or the fall
Knowing I can choose Peace for no reason.
