The Peace of the Soul

Can you know that your soul’s equilibrium is a place of peace, hope and love? When you are knocked off center as we all sometimes are can you wait a beat for the center to reassert? Rather than fighting can you wait with confidence? Can you know you are always coming home and love is forever waiting there?As you can see, we’re spending this week talking about our center and holding our equilibrium. What I want to call out here is what is really within our center. I do believe that our center is the place from which we can best express the positive in us. It’s the place where we hear love most clearly and can tune out some of the negative emotion that comes to us and that we create.But to hold that center, I have to hold it softly. I can’t grab it, force it, or muscle my way into calm. My center returns when I make space for it, not when I chase it. The more confident I am that love is waiting for me there — that peace is not something I earn but something that simply is — the easier it is to let the center rise again on its own.As you read this I wonder:* Do you really believe that peace and love are waiting within you?* Can you allow what is to be without it changing your course or your choice?* Can you fight a little less and wait with hope a little more?Our centers are places of wondrous power. They allow us to connect to other souls in ways that are at the core of what makes us human. I hope that you find both your center and the lines that lead from there to so many other souls around you.If you’ve been hanging out and would like to join the community, please hit the subscribe button.
