To Be, Or Not To Bang

Good Evenin'

And, a peach of a day! Couple a inches a fresh snow, fairly cool, but otherwise, fair and sunny.

And, I'd say, by and large, a day of holiday greetings; email and phone calls, family and friends. I did succumb to a nap, mid afternoon, and, manage a little extra heart time 'fore dinner, but, holidays, it just gets so quiet out here, and special with the new snow, that it's kinda mesmerizin'. Sometimes it occurs to me, that some might think "peace must be boring". But, I've thought some about that, over the years, and, encouragement from an elder, come to understand that peace is magical stuff. Maybe, like water for seed, only, stead of regular seed, it quenches the heart, and like a seed, it begins to germinate. So, what might seem "boring", at the outset, turns out to be very excitin' at the "inset".

I remember that same elder comparin' it to swimmin' in clear water. Ya might figure to jump in a look at the rocks and plants and fish. But, if ya jump in, yer apt ta kick up some sand. Without understandin' ya might give up. But, with a little understandin' ya stay, little by little, the sand'll settle and all of a sudden, a whole world'll open up, right before yer eyes.

So similar, the world of peace, seems ta me; a little understandin', ya stay a while and a whole new world can open up, just when ya thought ya'd seen it all.

I suppose it's kinda the "un" big bang theory.

Have a nice night!

Best,


jeune

  1. Beautiful insight to start the day. Peaceful here too. Peace is indeed under-rated. This is wonderful for the heart, "Ya stay a while and a whole new world can open up, just when ya thought ya'd seen it all."

    Blessings,
    Peaceful
