Not Enough

She wanted Peace. So she played beautiful music, painted beautiful expressions. And It was not enough. She went on long walks. Gave away possessions. Smiled more. Stopped multitasking. Not enough. Still not enough. She bought more reverent clothing. Read spiritual books. Spoke spiritual words. Not enough. She changed her relationships. Attended classes. Cut her hair. Improved her diet. Attended worship. Found a new job. Traveled. Came back. All of it, not enough. Would It ever be enough.

Then, one day, she looked inside herself, the place she had run from all her life. She found two Truths: the concentrated ego of suffering and fear, and the simmering ember of Peace. Realizing that Peace was a seed already inside her, she decided to try something new. She decided to Love more. Love herself more and poured all the love she gave to others into herself, She watered herself, An others that she met along the way, An into all things. In every moment. She opened. The ocean inside came out. The ocean outside came in. She dissolved in two oceans. The Fire within her roared in ablaze of beauty. Became immeasurable a balanced Lightness that she never knew was possible. She found Peace a Peace that she search for her entire life was in her all along. Love is the sunlight that awakens the seed of Peace.
