PEACE ☮ Seems Simple Enough

It seems simple enough to have peace in the world. The challenge is in the launch pad and how we fuel the spacecraft we carry though life. We know peace starts within, yet we are inclined to blame the world for our own turmoil. Unrest, however, is an inside job the restlessness and rest begin in one's head and heart. All the aches and pains every triumphant moment brightly lit as well as all the dimly lit tragedies linger in our innermost being, the memories of every good and bad experience puddle-up and sometimes spill over to other parts of our lives in kind ways and in crazy ways, in ways that make us grateful and happy or sadder more solemn for the wear and tear.

Emotional intelligence is a preferred mode of operation generally and renders a nice happy medium, sounds nice particularly when something or someone, a situation comes at us side-ways out of nowhere we are blindsided. The times that test us as a person with a sense of reason, fairness and goodness are challenging and force us to evolve into stronger folk.

A solid route to take, to traverse through muddy waters is a resolve to come at whatever, whoever, wherever we are from a tolerant, patient, peace-loving stance. The approach has been tried and tested through the ages and proved to be a most effective way to cultivate peace from within, in the name of supporting and manifesting peace externally. ☮ Peace to you

X2

As a twin there was a natural reverberation of sorts, reactions and actions X2 with constant nearby echos. Growing up a twin absolutely included life experiences in tandem like sports, games, education, religious rites of passage, even a duplicate consensus on political ideology. Our sense of right and wrong was usually in sync although twin sister was often the risk taker, daring and outspoken. 

We shared common ground on many levels in the formative years then became more out of sync about things as we developed our own individuality and sense of autonomy. In the teenage years the subtle separation from experiencing life X2 as twins and each other's shadow, back-up, wingman fading away on many levels was quite the trip, some contempt as misunderstandings, personality changes and miscommunication evoked resentment and anger. It may have been subconscious anxiety as we loosened the twin-ties even though we were eager to explore the world individually. It was scary, exciting, uncertain and we had to learn how to go about life without a sidekick nearby so dear yet annoying, smart, funny, inspiring and loved.
