ONCE SPIRIT AWAKEN

TO THE PRESENCE OF PEACE

It begins to seek it more and more often, until

ultimately it realizes that it lies at the heart of

every moment, regardless of what is going on.

As the restless mind becomes quiet, a beautiful

inner peace begins to  flow  into the  present,

which is  not  disturbed  by the  noise  and

clamor of the outer world. This peace gently

releases fear and agitation, leaving only the

beauty of the ever present oneness which is the

root of all diversity.   Essential   individuality

is not lost in this state.   Indeed the   unique

nature of each  being is  fully   acknowledged and

enhanced by the harmony of the peaceful heart.

It revels in the fulfillment of the individuality

of every being which is in harmony with all that is.
