I find great relief in this idea. \u00a0I guess it’s because I have had many experiences throughout my early life that made little sense at times. \u00a0Simply putting my “unbelief” in the idea aside, as was suggested to me by a woman much wiser than myself a few years ago, opened the door to a whole new way to experience life. \u00a0Now I feel great waves of peace just knowing that whom ever I need to meet, I will. \u00a0What ever I need to learn will come my way. \u00a0That the life tapestry I am weaving is divinely ordained.<\/p>\n

Does this seem farfetched to you when you look at your own life? \u00a0Far be it from me to insist that any one adopt my ideas as their own; however, it’s an idea that has changed my life in significant ways. \u00a0I am a seeker of peace. \u00a0In fact, experiencing it has become far more important to me as the years have gone by. \u00a0As a result, I have adopted many bits of spiritual philosophy that soften the hard edges of life. \u00a0 And I don’t think this means I am distorting what is there to be experienced. \u00a0Rather it means that I am choosing a “quiet” perspective on the myriad experiences that have claimed my attention. \u00a0In this way, I can be assured of a peaceful heart and mind.<\/p>\n

When my heart and mind are peaceful, I approach all people more lovingly and since every one who crosses my path has “been invited,” this means I am helping him or her to know greater peace too.<\/p>\n

I am convinced there is no greater benefit we can offer the world than to be peace-seekers and then purveyors of the peace we cultivate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
