Peace

We all strive for comfort and peace yet the only peace we can ever hope to find is in the stillness of the mind.
Nothing physical, nothing of value in this tangible plane of existence can offer any comfort or sistainable peace. It all keeps slithering through our fingers, impossible to hold on to.
So if we ever wish to find some peace and comfort and keep looking outside ourselves it will remain eternally unatainable.
The only comfort and peace we can find is in our hearts. Not in attaining something outside of ourselves but becoming comforted by all that we already are, accepting that we don't need another to feel love, finding solace in our own being.
The only peace we ever wish to find comes not from another, not from acieving and attaining but from the space inside.
The space that we hide from the world and from ourselves.
The "dark place" where our tears and pain come from.
The same place where our compassion and joy come from.
The stillness.
The void, if you will.
The place we call home and go searching around for.
We already have everything that we need.
We already are everything that we can become.
We even have that peace we are so desperately searching for.
We have simply forgotten.
Drop the pretenses and ego games and remember.
