Peace

I was hoping that I would have a more effective method of describing the subject of today's post, but, my disappointment aside- let us have at it.

How easy peace does guise
the quiet streets
from wars recline
while banners dance
the protest line

It has come to my attention that the notion of peace in these times, perhaps even in times past, has been a distortion of the truth- it is what I mean when I said, "From a seed do weeds sprout and spread to slowly strangle a lush green meadow.How low your sights have been setto seek (or worse, guard!) a glass half full!Water yearns to be poured without limit, without bias." The notion of peace today is likened to a glass half full, though we should see that level as the most we may achieve; like the Carnot Engine being only 40% efficient at best.

Peace has become brother to the absence of conflict, or better, war. But I would implore you to seek a peace, a personal peace, that is freedom from distress of any sort. Do your best to lift the burdens of this world from your shoulders, and then, after you have realized those chains that bound you, will you be free to lift those chains from others.
