Any pressures, concerns or challenges of the day have come and gone, for the most part. That is my time of letting go, going for a walk, being by the water, soaking in water, reading, connecting with a family member or friend or… just being with the moment, life, savouring, being with and appreciating what is, letting go … 0 Reply lasvistasjeanne1 month agolasvistasjeannehmmm, I live on the shore of beautiful Lake Atitlan. All I have to do is walk out my front door and sit on the porch to soak up beauty and peace. And yet, more often, I’m inside at the table, scrolling or at best visiting this site.

All I have to do is walk out my front door and sit on the porch to soak up beauty and peace. And yet, more often, I’m inside at the table, scrolling or at best visiting this site. All of your beautiful reflections acted as a wake up for me just now. I closed the laptop. Took off my glasses. Brought my tea out to the porch and just sat. I saw birds and butterflies and watched the leaves bob and dance in a gentle wind. I heard an occasional wind chime with bird song – and even a boat or a jet ski go by. I did nothing — no book, no sudoku, no kindle, no mental list making. It was truly divine. And right here for me. Thank you all for the reminder. Sending love and gentle breezes out to you all.

It’s private, it’s quiet, it’s nice. It’s late and I’m tired of course, but I stay awake as long as I can because it’s time to myself 4 Reply Elaine1 month agoElaineMy mid to late afternoon pause with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. A marker shifting the rhythm from something to something else. 6 Reply Anonymous1 month agoAnonymousthe still quietness of the morning, beckoning, peace be with you listen closer and then listen again, the still still quiet of the earth slowly awakens that little bit of spirit comes alive, grateful for another day 4 Reply TofuLove1 month agoTofuLoveBefore everyone else wakes up, like 330-4am is my favorite time of day. I like running super early before everyone wakes up. 3 Reply sparrow1 month agosparrowReally, any time of day can be peaceful for me . . . any moment might be a peaceful moment. I find peaceful moments all over throughout my day and into the night . . . 4 Reply Charlie T1 month agoCharlie TThat’s an easy question. Early mornings are the time when I can reflect and gather my thoughts. It feels like a fresh start, like only good things are happening at that hour. I lost this for a long time and I avoided mornings. Replaced it with watching the “news”. What a terrible idea. 5 Reply pkr1 month agopkrThe time of day that is most peaceful for me is early morning, the time I arise. It is quiet, the sun has just risen, the birds are singing. The quiet makes it conducive for my prayer & meditation time. I also feel closest to higher realms & Source in the early morning. Happy Saturday All.❤️🙏✨ 3 Reply Carol1 month agoCarolIt varies. 2 Reply Barb C1 month agoBarb CMy morning routine is peaceful. Before any news or social media or to-do lists, I read poetry on sites I visit every morning, then come here.

Before any news or social media or to-do lists, I read poetry on sites I visit every morning, then come here. Our cat often curls up on my outstretched legs on the sofa, I sip hot coffee my husband brings me, I listen to the birds outside during the seasons when it’s not too cold to have the window open and feel the cool air coming in. The second time of day is in the early evening in the summer, when my husband and I sit outside on our little patio reading and sipping something, occasionally reading a funny or thought-provoking line out loud to share. I stop to look up at the sky every so often and look into the trees. Our back yard is enclosed by fences and tall plants and it feels like a special, private space, even with neighbors on all sides of us. Read More3 Reply dragonfly1 month agodragonflyMornings. I feed the cats, take my meds and then start my meditation practice. When my meditation ends the cats are ready for a cuddle. In winter I have a nice warm tea and then my day starts and I hope that it will be mostly peaceful…or that I will be mostly peaceful regardless of how the day turns out to be. 6 Reply carol1 month agocarolyes when I wake up and then later in the day, or anytime I sit with my breath, or listen to the birds or… now that I’m exploring this further…there are many opportunities. Great question 3 Reply Holly in Ohio1 month agoHolly in OhioThe most peaceful time of day for me is about a half hour or hour after I wake. When I first wake I always have things to do and I am shaking off sleep, but usually after I feed the cat, put in laundry and such, I have some quiet time before others are up. 😊 5 Reply sunnypatti1 month agosunnypattiFirst thing in the morning. I love the stillness of morning, hearing the birds welcome the day, sun rising, and my routine that sets me up for the day ahead. 7 Reply devy1 month agodevyWhen I first get up in the early morning. There’s silence, peaceful atmosphere, knowing that it’s the start of a new day and new experiences. My meditations and reflections are most effective then and begin my day with positivity and appreciation 4 Reply EJP1 month agoEJPSunrise…with the fresh start of a new day full of endless possibilities and opportunities. 4 Reply Laura1 month agoLauraI’m not an early riser. Late afternoon is my golden hour. Work or chores are over for the day. I’ve had a nice long walk to tire me out and put the day’s stresses in the rear view mirror. Then some quiet time before dinner. 5 Reply Michele1 month agoMicheleearly morning – I enjoy the quiet and solitude. I hear the neighborhood peacocks and other birds. Peaceful. ☮ Also the colors at sunset/twilight are peaceful and hold magic to it. 6 Reply Antoinette1 month agoAntoinetteI don’t know how to answer this . I know the “right” way to answer this. To make the picture perfect morning or evening. Right now, in the present moment, I’m broken and falling apart. Letting go of whatever is coming up and out. Like brother David teaches us: stop , look and go. 🙏 11 Reply lasvistasjeanne1 month agolasvistasjeanneOh Antoinette, I’m sorry you are suffering today. Please know you are held in love. As I soak up moments of quiet and peace through my day I will exhale that feeling toward you and all the others who are struggling. The “right” way to answer this was exactly as you did. Pause, breathe and know you are loved. 1 Reply Hermann-Josef1 month agoHermann-JosefSome facets of life are sometimes very hard to accept. I can only send my best wishes for strength, inner peace and my love to you dear Antoinette. 3 Reply pkr1 month agopkrDear Antoinette, holding you in the light & sending you prayers for strength.🙏 Your response resonated with me deeply as today I feel especially sad & broken. Have been praying & meditating for guidance. I will pray for you. This too shall pass. ✨❤️✨ 2 Reply Yram1 month agoYramMy heart is with you. Rough times call for back up. Please know I am holding you in prayer. 2 Reply sparrow1 month agosparrowFunny, (not really), dear Antoinette . . . I am where you are right now, and will go through this with you, having faith that we will both come out the other side with love… sparrow ♥ 7 Reply GR8FULL1 month agoGR8FULLI have been there Antoinette and you will emerge from it. And thank you for having the courage to answer the question honestly. To me, that is evidence you are making progress and silver linings in your despair are right around the corner for you. You are a warrior and the universe will reward you for your strength and courage. Be patient. 6 Reply Eeevvv1 month agoEeevvvSome days are better than others and we have to navigate through all of them, the bad ones and the good ones. Take care of yourself in this journey, Antoinette! 5 Reply Michele1 month agoMicheleSending you some healing and strength energy to you Antoinette. I’m sorry you’re broken right now.
