Lovely story, Tess. Breathing in, breathing out, breathing with a slight smile in my heart and on my lips eases everything. Trusting that all is well no matter what is happening. Everything is at is should be. I choose my response….not react. Breathe….

May your new year be glorious, my friend. May it bring health and love and wisdom….and fun! xo

Angelia,
With practice we can have peace at any moment in time. It’s our choice weather we want to move our ego out of the way in order to go for it. Happy 2010.

Jonathon,
Yes and inner harmony takes self- acceptance and letting go of my ego. Not a easy thing to do in the midst of a storm. Especially if I’m invested in being right!

Robin,
Peace imprinted on our being. Well I want that Robin! That’s why we can’t wait to purchase your book! I was one of 10 kids and grew up on a produce farm. We worked in the fields from sun up to sun down. I found peace in nature. I believe we detached from the strenuous work and escaped into the beauty around us. It was difficult then but truly a gift as I learned to become one with nature. I prefer to be out doors any day, any time, any where!
My hubby and I are enjoying hiking AZ.

You’re amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.

Dear Tess, this left me sooooooo deeply moved. I have tears in my eyes. When you described the little bird in it’s nest amongst the waterfall and storm clouds. I felt the deep deep peace of it within me. It actually took me back to my life in the rainforest. Oddly one of my most peaceful times was sitting in the forest during a tropical deluge/storm. Down on the beach the wind was raging and the surf roared with tumultuousity, but up under the canopy there was often a sense of calm and of being sheltered.

I used to LOVE both walking along the shore and swimming in the sea during a violent storm (didn’t have to watch as much for crocodiles and sharks in churned up surf), but it was more than that. I would walk from the wind-whipped beach and up into the forest…and I could sense the peace there.

I used to marvel how I could be in the midst of a great storm and experience such peace. I remember thinking how the peace I experienced under the canopy was becoming part of me…and would go with me even if I one day left the Australian rainforest. Many years later I still marvel over how that peace DID become me. After all these years it is STILL with me (as if it happened yesterday), imprinted on my being. Maybe that is why Nature is so good for kids, for ALL of us, because if we spend enough time just ‘being with’ Nature she anchors us deep into her abiding peace and love…a never ending peace. We are no longer adrift from our source, so during the storms of our lives we have something vast and loving that keeps us literally ‘grounded’.

Thank you dear Tess for such a moving story. I’ve missed being here. I was away and the break did me good…although not long enough. I am hugging you for your very touching and deeply thoughtful kindness. Robin

Nice story Tess. Indeed, true peace comes from within. And yet, there can be no inner peace where inner conflict exists. So, to find inner peace we must first create inner harmony. True peace is the natural result of an inner environment that is in harmony with ones true self.

Merry Christmas dear Tess! May it be richly blessed with all things good and true.

Megan,
Yes I think the Universe will return all that love and understanding right back to you as well. It’s been a wonderful year getting to know you. xo

Cheryl,
Thanks for stopping by. Great minds think on the same channel!

Patricia,
I just returned from MI and visiting my family. I did remain calm, loving and understanding and came home with a heart full of joy. I know you’ll do the same!

Tess, I love this story. For me to be in a peaceful state of mind, I have to be in balance and grounded instead of bouncing off the walls with my energy. Learning to act rather than react to people and situations is usually difficult to maintain but the result of the effort is well worth the time that it takes to master my own thoughts. Oh to be like that calm and graceful mother bird with her household surrounded by all that turmoil, especially during the holiday season of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks for visiting my blog.

What a great story, Tess; I loved it. Vivid, poignant and something that will stay with me as I head into the next few days (at least!). This Christmas as I spend time with family I don’t see very often, I’m going to try and remember to give what I want to receive, i.e., unconditional love and nonjudgment. By giving them first and expecting nothing in return, I have a feeling the Universe will find a way to balance itself out and return some to me anyway. (smile)

Best to you and your family ~ LOVE, JOY & ALL OF GOD’S GOODNESS!
