Expressing Peace. Sneaky Peace. 77.
Sneaky Peace
Sneaky peace sneaked up on me today. What a beautiful surprise.
It was a beautifully focused day because I was in the “flow”, as written about by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (and discussed in an earlier Expressing Peace). Highly productive. Fast-moving. Almost totally head-down and creating.
Then, all of a sudden, I was finished. Work was over. The day’s assignment done. Suddenly, the energy I had ridden without noticing s l o w e d d o w n. That, I noticed.
For a moment I didn’t know what to do or how to feel. I could recall the surge and charge of intently working and producing since early in the morning. And quickly I realized I could be “now” and appreciate the standstill, the calm. Sneaky peace. Now I could revel in it.
Like getting a peace two-fer.
Have you ever noticed peace sneaking up on you?
- Singing with love and gusto; feeling immense ease after the last note?
- Building something that expends your energy; floating on the pride with the last nail driven?
- Presenting a speech that calls on all your attention; smiling big inside to the applause?
- Moving in high gear on errands and chores and work; coasting at the last check-off on the list?
The next time your high energy engagement ends, let yourself recognize the beautiful peace that follows.
Loving One,
thank you for the energy
that lets me know the calm,
and thank you for the peace
that lets me seize the doing.
The balance of moving so fast
that the standstill is all the richer.
The yin yang of working with such fervor
that putting down the tools is bliss.
And all is Peace. Both halves make up the whole;
Peace is the Whole.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.
Enjoy Peace. Two times.
