Peace is a state of being More than just a state of mind Peace needs consistent practice You have to nurture your heart Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways The heart flutters at a moment’s notice Such is the way of life and living So let your dancing heart & mind Find their way towards coexistence Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen Let the sense of peace be understood well Until peace becomes of a way of life. Care to protect your peace.
If we are ready to explore Beyond our limited existence We begin to envision our potential
If we are ready to receive We learn some more! Our paths are unique in every now And limitless are our possibilities We are meant to evolve along the way Such is the way of life
And yet …
We are all a work in progress We cannot know it all
There is always room for more Change is the only constant
While nature is abundant Knowing is finite Yet infinite are the possibilities!
The secret to thriving Is in nurturing the qualities That creates wellbeing In ourselves and around us Generating goodwill & interconnections Helping create a more resilient world Empowered in empathetic humanity Than just the survival of the fittest.
THE DANCER An Excerpt From The Wanderer by Khalil Gibran,
Once there came to the court of the Prince of Birkasha a dancer and her musicians. And she was admitted to the court. And she danced to the music of the flute, the lute, and the zither. She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
When she had finished, she approached the prince and bowed her body before him. The price bade her to come nearer, and said unto her, “Beautiful woman, daughter of grace and delight, whence comes your art? And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?”
And the dancer came near and bowed her body again and said, “Gracious majesty, I know not the answer to your questionings. Only this I know: The philosopher soul dwells within his head, the poets soul dwells within his heart, the singers soul dwells about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.
