Peace, Not as the World Gives

Sit. Notice the body. Notice the breath.

Read the verse slowly. Especially this part: I do not give to you as the world gives.

There is a different kind of peace being offered. Not the peace of everything going right. The peace of something going right inside you, even when nothing outside is going right.

Let the breath become the prayer. In — I receive the peace. Out — I let go of the trouble.

Stay a few more minutes. The peace is patient.
