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: |
