Thought for the Week: Peace - A three-piece suite

David Lockyer reflects on peace

by David Lockyer 24th February 2017

The first piece is the deepest, the root from which peace grows; the silence that calms and heals; the point of is-ness when there is no I; no me, no not me; no knowing, no not knowing; no you, no not you; no us, no not us – just pure being and the ground-of-being – the rest point of being in the moment. At one with the in-breath, the drawing-in of all that there is and all we are part of – open and accepting to whatever comes. At one with the out-breath, circulating fully and giving out all that we are. Being without attachment or aversion, as the Buddhists say. Knowing that the attachments and aversions are what distorts and blinds.
