The answer lies within

Life's been hectic lately. OK, so when is it not, right? What with getting some health issues addressed, my dad dying, Ben starting his senior year of college, Shirley making some career decisions, a few financial items ...oh yeah, and the insanity of local, national, and global events.

Yesterday afternoon I did a half hour on the treadmill, which is often a time for thinking. A little later I sat down and meditated. There was a string of many years when I was always meditating twice a day, every day, no matter what. I've been missing that inner peace. When I went to bed last  night, I gave myself a Reiki treatment (and sent some Reiki to others).

During the night I had a 'flying' dream. It'd been a while since I'd had one of these, but they are always very vivid for me. The feeling of peace this morning is rather profound ...and sorely missed for quite some time.

I can't say that I'm back to meditating regularly and practicing Reiki regularly (I hope so), but I do now recall (why had I forgotten?) that the most peaceful I've ever felt ...regardless of the events in the physical world ...was when I made the time every day for some spiritual practice. I do believe the universe could benefit from more folks feeling inner peace. At least part of my simple mission is clear.

Get some serenity wherever you can. I get mine playing the piano (then lose it, as soon as I get back to the blogs).

thanks joe, for the serene reminder of remembering the inner beings we really are.
