At peace with the world. That's a rare place to be.
Can you imagine being that way?
I am reminded of John Lennon's famous tune
'Imagine'. Though I don't think it is necessary to be done with
the world's religions for us to get there. '...all the people
living for Today' 'and 'the World will live as One.' What does
it mean to get there? Does that place really exist? Do we need
to reach some transcendental, new-age, planetary unification
existence or can we just accept it as it is with all it's flaws
and tragedies and be at Peace with the World.
Today I have been edgy and mostly dissatisfied with
myself and that's not
unusual. Wherever my gaze might be directed I might find
dissatisfaction there too; Iraq, Global Warming, too many
Police, too many people .... Wah Wah.... Cry, Baby Cry. I think
George Harrison had a tune or two like that.
Maybe I could do this or that to improve myself as a
person. Maybe I could choose this (her) or that way (her) in
romantic relationships. Maybe I will experience rejection where
I felt only love and destiny. Maybe Baby... In the chaos and
ineffectiveness of my existence to me, Peace is not a noun, it
is not an Island to raise your Flag upon. It is not a place to
strive for. It is here as we are here, in this moment to receive
Life's blessings and then hidden by a passing cloud the very
next.
Everything will be All right, as the
great Chuck Day once said.
