[ a peace close to home, dept. ]

To find the nearest war – and peace – all we need to do is sit home, turn off, tune in and watch the parade in our mind. After all, it’s the mind that produces all conflict, that makes war and, when not burdened with belief, rests in peace.

WE LIVE IN NATURAL PEACE ONLY HERE, ONLY NOW.
TO ENJOY PEACE AND QUIET, SEE THAT THERE’S NO OTHER PLACE AND OTHER TIME TO IMAGINE AND HOPE THAT PEACE WILL COME. INDEED, AS NONVIOLENCE IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF VIOLENCE, ‘PEACE’ IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF WAR. PEACE IS THE ABSENCE OF ALL OPPOSITION, OF ALL RESISTANCE TO WHAT IS. IT’S OUR NATURE; PEACE IS HERE WHEN THE FIGHT IN ‘YOU’ IS OVER. 🙂
