“To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life – bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.” – Peace Pilgrim

Two days ago in the fog, wet, and cold I found myself at the edge of a cliff.  It was a moment filled with feelings. Standing at the edge, looking out across the open ocean and crashing surf below, seeing the dark monoliths standing as sentinels guarding the land, I felt as though nature had set the stage of this enormously overpowering play.  And as I stood in the midst of this setting near the edge of the stage, feeling the rain and cold wind against my face, I felt something deep within me awaken more fully than ever before.  From many corners of my inner being a chorus of voices pronounced …

This is the life for me!

This is the moment sought … and the treasure discovered!

This is truly a magical moment in my wonderful life!

For that moment … in that instant … like no other moment before … I felt truly in harmony with all that is me.  All the pieces in my puzzle came together and felt comfortably fitted into place.  It was truly a moment like none I recall … a moment to remember … seek … and relish.

My life offers so many gifts, I simply need to go out and experience them …
