7 Pillars to Inner Peace

In the grandest of time, too, is that of the grandest of upheaval and turmoil; the self has to be willing to shut out the noise, turn down the volume of chaos. For inner peace is but a gentle tune, a soft sound, a mellow melody. Inner peace is that of a rare jewel. One cannot find what is yet to be found. One cannot find inner peace without slowing down, quieting down, calming down. To find and have that of inner peace is to be aware of its existence. For having inner peace is no easy task. You see, to have peace begins with knowing the beauty of tranquility. To have tranquility is to know the beauty of stillness. To have stillness is to have the courage to look within oneself through the lens of purity, the simplisticness of life itself. The simple purity of life is that of a rainbow, the bluest of skies, the whitest of clouds in the clearest of days, the gentle breeze of an early morning sun, the chirping of birds calling each other for who knows but only they understand the beauty of such love songs, the warmth of the sun in a mid summer’s day, the soft sounds of rain drops, the icy blanket of snow, the fresh dew of a morning sunrise, the first blossoms of early spring, the innocence of a child’s laughter, the smile of a newborn’s angelic face, the warmth of a family’s love, the coziness of a grandparent’s hug, the cheerfullest of greetings from loved ones after a long day in the sun, the arrival of one’s true love after a lifetime of searching and waiting, and the joyful moment when a family begins with little feet. The simplistic things in life are the truest, purest beauty of all.
