All i want is Peace

Silence brings the experience of the power within.

When we see with a silent mind, a mind free from questions and waste thoughts, we will be able to see beyond what is visibly happening.

This enables us to go beyond the situation. It is like flying high and looking down below and we’ll be able to see things clearly and also be able to fly across the barriers very easily.

Application:

All I need to do when I am tired of the situation I am going through is to take some moments of silence to remind myself of the power within me. When I get detached and watch the situation as I would watch a play I would be able to enjoy each thing that happens. This detachment gives me the power to understand the situation accurately and overcome all obstacles.

According to our sources, the following letter was found in the ‘Letters To Santa’ box at the Post Office in Thompson Falls, Montana.

Dear Santa

What do I ask this year I have perused each ad in my mailbox, pored over the colorful ads in the newspaper. So many lovely things, and yet I need nothing.

I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-capped mountains and the slate gray river peppered with fat geese.

I need nothing there are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes wretched temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who are tolerant when I don’t have enough money. There are kind faces in public places.

There is a fat pregnant cat who sneaks into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth; I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young of flight, right there behind my house. There are deer that tiptoe into my yard and savor the fat apples in the snow.

Rows of glassed vegetables; green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my pantry. And a rusty bucket of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promises next year’s riches.

I need nothing! Christmas promises already fulfilled redeem my foolish life, and occasionally I glimpse the feast that awaits me when this earthly one is done.

Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air slither down my leg. How mighty is the hand that sweeps the wind along the mountains. Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life.

Thank you.
