My exploration of the ways we can achieve greater Inner Peace has been and continues to be a wonderful journey. If I were to give an overview, I would say that Inner Peace comes from knowing that Life is a series of ongoing lessons and that there is something Positive to be found in every lesson and every day. This is a belief and practice I live. I also have come to deeply accept that there is only Perfect Timing which has helped me become very patient. One key to Inner Peace is accepting all people no matter where they are in their journey. Once we know we are all a work in progress, we can feel compassion for the mad/sad Ego and love the Divine Self in every person.
Yvonne Youst explains it clearly in The Peaceful Climb when she says, "There is a Peaceful Kingdom. It exists through all eternity. This Kingdom is around you in all rooms. It surrounds you when you go outside, beneath the circling sky. Peace is always near you but it cannot cross the threshold until you open your door. The handle of that door is Love."
I hope my thoughts and photos will be a help to you as you explore your own Inner Peace. They are written from my heart in my own ongoing search to increase my Inner Peace. Our peace-filled thoughts and love reach out to touch everyone in our lives. World peace occurs one peaceful person at a time.
