a hard won peace

Recently, due to a few mishaps and upsets, I have tried to look at myself a little more honestly.

................and I admit - it feels difficult to be peaceful.

My conditioning is reactive.

Something happens - I react.

In this watching I realise more than ever, that I am not my thoughts.

I detach, and feel a deeper presence.

I respond rather than react.

It feels good.

Surrender and enter the present.
