Peace Is…

I wrote this when I was in Expressive Arts Training and pregnant with my second child.
Peace is…
Laying in my lover’s warm, strong arms after an explosive orgasm
The soft, sweet breath of my daughter rising and falling on my cheek
The feeling of rightness when I touch fertile, organic, untainted soil with bare hands
Honoring all living beings everywhere for who and what they are and recognizing the gifts they bear
My dog slumbering in the sun
The recognition of my smile by the clerk at the corner store
Finding joy in sorrow
The resonance of Love
Hearing the harmony in the symphony of life and knowing that we each have our own unique song
The synergistic dance of the Universe
