Peace

So many people have peace and have this everlasting sense of relaxation throughout their lives. I have always been moving faster than my body could handle and my brain going right along with it. Every once in a while I find the perfect evening if there is such a thing and when it comes a long I find my peace and I think that is what charges my batteries and keeps me going. Most of the time I find it starts as just a night in doing absolutely nothing by myself and most of the time it's tied to my music and what makes me happy at that point in my life. It's never felt as if I needed this time or never has it been a consistent recurrence. It's random. Being alone brings me to reflect and makes me want nothing else in that moment except my peace. Tonight my peace came from a jack Johnson CD, expressing my thoughts and life on my blog and just laying on the carpet with my dogs. You never feel as loved as you do when you look into the face of something that relies on you to provide their next bowl of food and licks your face as a thank you every chance they get. My dogs engulf me as I share their dog bed and all four fall asleep somehow touching some part of me to make sure I was there to protect them. As I hear the acoustic melody of Jack and his lyrical voice I find my inner peace and I want nothing else except time. I don't mistake peace for happiness because I have plenty of that in my life but sometimes you just need that evening to yourself to recharge and feel one with yourself. Some would just read a book with a glass of wine or take a long bath but everyone has their version Peace. Mine defines me by who I am and I love that.
