What Brings Me Peace?

Maybe it's the notion that it feels right. Maybe it's the fact that if I don't have it, life goes by too fast. Some people think life is a race, get to the end first, make the most money, be the prettiest person, change yourself into what you should be. And yet, those people disappear. Who gets remembered? Is it that model from 30 years ago? Or that person who won a war with nonviolence? The truth is, none of that matters, you don't need to change yourself to be perfect, you don't need to be remembered to be good enough. Maybe that is what brings me peace. Or maybe, we only know so much. How do we know that this is what peace is like? How do we know that there isn't a higher level? How do we know that we know anything? Well, we don't. The truth is that we can only imagine, we can only hope to be able to grasp something true when life doesn't make any sense. Some people will ask me how I can be calm when the world is facing this pandemic, climate change, etc. it's simple really, you just need peace. I could say that being content in silence brings me peace, or it just comes and goes. But the truth is, it has always been there, like happiness, or hope, there is never a time in my life where I have been so low that there is not some part of me where there is still some hope, there has not been a time in my life that I have been so scattered there is not any part of me that can feel peace. So what brings me peace? The same thing tha tbrings it to you. Peace is in all of us, it can strengthen us, it can bring us together. It is one of the strongest things you have, and the beauty of it, is that it has been with you all along.
