Within, there is the story teller, the one who is always telling your story.
Within, there is the questioner, the one who is always asking the questions.
And, there are not necessarily one each. There are many. One for every personality that guides you.
There are times when they have much to say. Many stories; many questions. On and on. Ceaselessly, sometimes a million miles a second.
What motivates them? Why do they go on and on? Why do we have to be filled with this?
The good questions aren't the many questions. The good stories aren't the many stories.
The biggest stories are the few. The biggest questions are the few.
It's better to let the story teller rest quiet. Ask it! Why so many stories? Why go on and on? What motivates those stories?
It's better to let the questioner rest quiet. Ask it! Why so many questions? Why go on and on? What motivates those questions?
Hold one big question. If it rambles, ask: “why ramble?” Hold it in the quiet. Let it make space, clear space.
Let the story teller rest quiet. If it rambles, ask: “why ramble?” Hold it in the quiet. Let it make space, clear space.
Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet
There! Now that it's quiet… ~~~ Feel the peace. Feel the peace in your body. Feel the peace in your mind. Feel the peace all around you. Feel the peace in the Vastness. Feel the peace in the Universe.
As for the World: let the questioners and the story tellers go quiet. And, there will be peace in the World.
Now, in the clarity of that peace, see the beauty of the quiet.
Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet
Now allow the vibration ~~~ softly ~~~ subtly. Just allow it ~~~ on ~~~ and on.
See the beauty in the quiet. Feel the beauty in the quiet. Hear the beauty in the quiet. Taste it; smell it. Know the beauty in the quiet. Know it with all your senses.
It was always there. It was always in you. That beauty is in everyone.
We all have it. It's there. It's really there ~~~ in the quiet.
Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet ~~~ Quiet
Now the vibration rises. Gently, slowly. It just does. The beauty makes it so.
It rises ~~~ and rises ~~~ and expands ~~~ beyond all existence.
The beauty creates beauty. The clarity fills with brilliant colors ~~~ flowering everywhere.
Cool water ~~~ vast rivers ~~~ flow like the orbit of the planet.
Majestic mountains meditate on vast plains.
An eagle the size of a galaxy ~~~ soars through the emptiness of space, reaching realms that have not yet been imagined.
Let the story teller go quiet.
Let the questioner go quiet.
The peace and the beauty is in all of us.
P.S. Sorry to interupt the flow. Please stop, stay in the flow, and come back later to ponder the question that follows. Stop here, come back later. ~~~ As I post this, I'm still in the defualt web-site builder, and these three photos are the canned, stock photos from the builder's library. It seems odd that when I searched for peace I would find enough pictures that I would have trouble choosing among them. Is it that so may people care about peace? Or, is it that there are so many forms of peace? <sigh> Eventually, these will be replaced. But, I think that for what I'm conveying here, I will still want three photos. Peace has so many beautiful forms that I don't think I can ever settle for less than three perspectives. There are many more. It's up to you to decide why I picked these three and why I put them in this sequence. Do they touch on key Universals, or are they just my own silly interpretation of my own particular cultural perspective?
