What brings me peace?
Silence. The ability to be silent and to tolerate silence seems to be becoming a lost art in our world of noise and instant access. But, to me, to sit in silence, with perhaps the expected sounds of birds chirping, the ocean roaring, the wind whistling.....is heavenly. It is a time when time stops, when I feel one with the All, when clarity in thought is unsurpassed, when joy and contentment are mine, and when I can just enjoy being. |
Pulling out the guitar and playing an old tune that comes to mind...
Watching the pelican's glide across the sky and dive swiftly into the ocean... Feeling the winds picking up and watching the leaves dance to it's song... |
watching animes
|
Music.
Writing it. Playing it. Listening to it. Feeling it. And submission ;) :bdsmslave: |
Rain. It has a cleansing value that I appreciate.
|
Sometimes it's going outside to listen to all the blackbirds singing their little beaky hearts out,
Other times it's blasting out Disturbed on my ipod... It all depends on what I'm doing, If I'm writing I need to listen to music, If I'm meditating, again, it's music, so I can block out the outside world/voices. Even standing out in a thunderstorm is soothing! |
Seeing how much my nieces and nephews have grown up, and are married now, and some have kids too. Life never stops. :heartbeat: |
the presence of raptors.
|
The beach brings me peace
Blue water, white sand and the sound of the tide coming in against the shore. :tanning: |
The knowledge that one day we, all of us, me included will die.
It helps me not sweat the small stuff and focus on the important stuff |
Following the path of a single breath within me.
|
Mowing, yard work stuff like that
|
Twilight
Seeing the sun disappear into darkness and the stars emerging. |
My daughters VERY FIRST piano recital.
|
Trees, grass, flowers, birds, squirrels; etc. That sorta world. The real world around me.
|
Sleep.....
|
Watering my little garden just as the sun is coming up ~ when the birds are just beginning to stir & sing ~ gives me peace.
|
On a day like today...started in much pain and discomfort... it gives me peace to think that the near future holds many good things and a very positive new beginning to a new chapter in my life.... surrounded by good people who will help me adjust and settle into a place I know I will feel at Home. Comfort brings me peace.

tonight, there's a soft rain...
Taking a nap today is preventing me from sleeping now... The rain is a gentle drizzle and so refreshing... So I decided to walk down my long driveway to check the mailbox for my Netflix... with flashlight in hand, I was so delighted to take a slow stroll in bare feet and hear nothing but the sounds of nature and so content NOT to hear any city noises... no traffic, no trains, no obnoxious neighbors and NO fire department or police sirens!! Pennsylvania has the MOST annoying fire sirens that sound like 1940's ear piercing air raid sirens!! And for some strange reason, I always ended up living near the fire department. Tonight... all I heard was the rain and LOTS of Spring Peepers and Bull Frogs. I could sit out hear all night... on a little hill in my Hundred Acre Wood. |
it depends on what's going on for me.
Recently, I spent the weekend with two of my best friends at the beach and I was able to just be in the moment: enjoying the lull of the ocean surf, the dark stormy clouds on the horizon as the sun was nearly gone to the lone calls of birds up above and all of us giggling in merriment over things we were talking about... I need to do that more often - just get away, unplug from everything and just be with friends (or even on my own) out in nature. :moonstars: |
water
breeze music blue still of night sleeping pets being lost in a book the serenity of being surrounded by books in the silence of the library - or - art in a museum thinking only of the present moment good smells running my hands and feet through the cool sand pulling the blanket up over my ears in bed overcoming obstacles remembering i'm doing the best i can unconditional love |
Peace
Silence
meditation music building things fixing things riding around in the country with my big brother camp fires thunderstorms gardening |
That hint of blue in the sky, that little sign the sun is coming. The cool breeze that is just strong enough to make the windchime sing. That moment to reflect, give thanks for the many blessings, love and people in my life. (f) |
Unconditional Love My Pets Someone who just offers me a handshake or smile - no reason for it |
To have my wife in my arms,
the way she smells, the way she feels, soft and bright, light against my darkness. |
Accepting me for me.
Comprimsing writting a program (computer) Hanging out and watching tv with a friend shopping and many many more things But most of all.......sitting here, looking out the window from my studydesk at school, watching the people walk up and down the hills of downtown tacoma, witht he water off in the distance and the tree's lining the skyline. :fyi: :papac: :thud: |
My inner strength.
La Familia. Knowing. :bunchflowers: |
going over to one of our beaches--almost always no one there or very few--just standing,listening to the waves crash against the shore,feel the ocean breeze,watching the birds dive bomb,the lil crabs scurry to the waters edge....in those moments the world is right again!
|
What brings me peace...
Tilting my face toward the sunlight, closing my eyes, and feeling the warmth on my skin. Sitting in my rocking chair on my front porch at dusk, and watching the sun turn the sky into the prettiest shades of pink & purple cotton candy at sunset. Looking out at the waves at the beach, as they crash upon the shore, and feeling the salty breeze on my skin. A lil' ME time, with a nice glass of wine, a good book & curled up on the couch in my leopard print Snuggie (hey, don't judge) ;) |
Sitting next to the water with the sun on my face and talking to the dragonflys... that always seem to be around me.....i find it very peacful and welcoming
I center myself and I like that I am able to do that for me...along with some help from the dragonflys.. oh and as always loving on my 5 felines that is always something that is peaceful to me |
Sometimes it's alcohol!!!!
|
The first couple of hours in my day.....after the puppies wake up and make their little 'visits' outside and are fed & watered...and I sit down with my coffee ~ either at my desk or on the terrace ~ and my gentle music, or the birds waking up and singing 'Good morning'....
It's perfect peacefulness.... |
holistic massage,
the pacific ocean, the scent of the desert after the rain, dogs snoring, holding a baby, painting (creating), clean sheets, a long car ride, when i find chester in my bed and he lazily rolls over wanting a belly rub blackout curtains |
:| Painkillers are giving Me some peace, but damn, I need to be with My babygirl, that way I wouldn't be thinking about My back, I would just be thinking about how wonderful it is just laying beside her.
But we do get the night to ourselves tomorrow, Mum's away for the night! :cheesy: |
having the one eyed rocking on limping kitty sleep on my feet
|
Sitting at the beach. Listening to the waves.
|
Finally feeling like I know the way "home". Haven't felt this way since I left Mississippi in 2006 so it's good to have that feeling of truly being in the sanctuary of home again!
