What Is Peace?

Is Peace a word?

Is it a meaning?

Is it the absence of violence?

For me Peace is …

Unconditional love,

It is the absence of judgement,

It neither suppresses or represses,

Peace responds, shares, cares and reveals,

Peace heals all misunderstandings,

For negativity is never true,

It is only unquestioned beliefs.

What is a Peacemaker?

To look for the good in what is thought not,

To see the beauty of potential in every face,

In truth a Peacemaker cannot make Peace,

A Peacemaker can only be it,

It is to simply make peace visible through a life lived honestly,

Peace is a decision to accept life under all conditions,

It doesn’t resist or block or deny,

It places no conditions on Peace,

It needs no agreement,

Peace is a decision to live by example,

For this is the highest love,

Of self.

Peace does not live in poverty,

For a poverty mentality says there is not enough,

Peace lives in the abundance of hope, joy, laughter and love,

For there is enough when the heart is open to life,

And this is when magic happens,

An open heart is an open mind that gives to all without discrimination,

This is the promise of Gross National Happiness,

It is a nation state that needs no seat at the United Nations,

For it is a state of being beyond borders,

GNH makes peace on the street,

GNH smiles at a person on public transport,

GNH uplifts another by sharing a story,

GNH breaks bread and shares food,

It is to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

It is to live authentically as Peace is real,

Peace is inclusive not exclusive of like minds,

Peace cares nothing for money, recognition or fame,

Peace is in the stillness that knows oneness,

Peace continuously flows with life,

Like a flower opening to the light of Spring,

A rhythm of ebbs and flows without ceasing,

It is the eternal known in the moment,

It is the most beautiful feeling of gratitude,

It hosts the smile in every attitude,

For every moment holds a hidden treasure,

That awaits the potential of what can be,

When we set each other free,

To be,

The way and the truth,

The Peace that passeth all understanding,

As the dove landing gently on your shoulder,

Peace is Who You Really Are.
