Daily Question, October 28

Where is peace present right now? How can I welcome it?

  • Ose

    Peace is inside out, whenever being in the moment. welcoming it with breathing, compassion and loving kindness.

  • dimple dangi

    Peace is in my mind i just have to stop and breath to feel it.

  • Melissa

    Peace today came when my husband held my hand and looked at me lovingly. This calmed my whole body as I have been so anxious about the outcome of our elections.

    • Michele

      I loved this – when I’m in a relationship I love hand holding. I smile whenever I see couples holding hands.

  • Don Jones

    Peace comes when … visualize all of those roles, responsibilities, expectations, etc. as soap bubbles. As I dissolve them or pop them, all of the boundaries disappear. This is where peace resides. No deals to broker with God or anyone else. Just boundlessness.

  • Linda

    Maybe it is the calm before the storm, but today I feel more at peace around next week’s election than I have before. I welcome it.

  • Holakiewicz

    Peace is in the stillness of water in a pond, in the constancy of the sun’s rising and setting, in the ebb and flow of the tide, in nature itself. Cultivating a consistent practice of meditation allows me to internalize this stillness and peace. There is struggle in maintaining my practice though.

  • Zenith

    Peace is present right here on this site. It is present in me every time I meditate. Peace is a sense of quietness that is right here inside us. We must allow it to pervade our little worlds and connect us to each other.

  • Mica

    Peace is in me, when I stop and notice it

  • Papilio

    Inner peace always exists within me once I could connect to it by breathing slowly & deeply, and witnessing what’s going on in my mind. It is not easy to welcome peace into every moment of my daily life, though. Perhaps I should drop everything for three minutes at every hour to meditate or pray to just quiet my mind.

  • Trish

    There is definitely peace within me. I sometimes forget that….I can welcome it by surrendering & not trying to control outcomes. Things unfold beautifully without me managing them. This invites me to simply breathe…..

    • Linda

      “Things unfold beautifully without me managing them.” So true, yet so hard to remember when things are challenging! I love this.

  • Amy

    Peace is present each morning during the quiet time of prayer and meditation. I look forward to it and embrace it with a wide open heart and arms. Each day my prayer is to carry it forth into the day and bless all others with peace even if only for small moments. God bless us all as we strive to be here now and give thanks for all we have been given.

  • Dusty Su

    In the quiet tonight. I’m in bed with a poignant, but humerous, book about death. It’s oddly comforting.

    • Pollyanna Gladwell

      That sounds like a wonderful book, Dusty! Would you care to share the name and author please and thank you?

      • Dusty Su

        It’s delightful. I found it as my mother’s independent living facility. It’s very short, big print for elders, and highly enjoyable. His humor is great. It’s called “How Shall I Tell the Dog?” by Miles Kington. It may be at your library. It’s a very short read and I do not know if I would buy it, but I would borrow it from a library or buy it from a second-hand book store.

    I had a troubled sleep last night with odd disturbing dreams. Now I am up sitting in the living room doing my daily rituals of reading gratefulness.org and then doing a meditation. The peace that I am currently experience is the silence of the room except for the ticking of the kitchen clock, the running of the fridge and the darkness outside before the sun rises. I note the gentle and silent falling of snow flakes as they descend from heaven and gather on the ground peacefully. Here’s to a ne...

    • I barely slept and also had odd disturbing dreams. Also reading this this morning and about to meditate!

      Peace will be present when I focus my mind meditating until it starts racing again and gets upset it still don’t got what it want.

  • kimthompsen

    I am an early riser. Today peace is with me, right here. I am grateful for the second question: how can I welcome it? Just by asking that question. I recognized it was here and I am gladly receiving it.

  • sunnypatti

    All around me & within me! When I am not at peace, I am not paying proper attention.I quiet myself each morning, welcoming the day with peace & gratitude. I was told once that peace is always a breath away 🙂

  • Lioness

    This is a difficult one today as there is conflict in my household and some very cruel words being thrown at me from someone I love dearly. I think perhaps I need to make time for peace today by myself to take myself away from the negativity and hurt and to try and realise they are just words and I need to try my best to remain at peace to help myself and my family member who is causing my hurt, because they are too likely to be hurting.

  • Kevin

    I am an early riser, and I experience peace, most consistently, in the quiet hours between 4 AM and sunrise every morning.

  • Michele

    There is peace present in my home. I welcome it each morning and evening before bed. There is peace in nature- all you have to do is just look for it and it will bring you joy.

  • Malag

    At this moment I am waiting. And I could be impatient but I’m not. Just sitting here relaxing.

  • Howie Geib

    The natural world around me: the pond outside my condo with it’s three or four generations of ducks, Herons, Egrets and Osprey, the painted turtles and the Bass and Gar under the surface. And in the mornings at work I drive along the beach, which never ever fails to calm my nerves. Almost everyday I get to watch the sunrise. It’s where I go when I leave here after posting each morning.

    • Trish

      I vote that we have a picnic at Howie’s!! It sounds gorgeous.
