Pages From My Heart

March 2011 Someone once told me that there was a path to peace. I searched for years for this path looking this way and that, asking questions, seeking answers, following others, getting caught up in the wild wilderness of struggle, separation, conflict , glamor, anxiety, drama, fear and worry. All the while still wanting, still waiting for something, for someone to bring me the peace I desired. I thought that if i looked hard enough I would find it, if my life was free of the above circumstances I would have it, touch it, taste it. I searched everywhere, except the one place it could be found. Within. When it dawned on me that Peace is a state of being not an exclusive travel destination, that peace is something I experience, then each and every breath became an opportunity. An opportunity to understand the very nature of peace (the energy behind the breath that breathes me) this mysterious energy that animates everything. I have discovered ways of dwelling more frequently in this inner space, by watching myself, my breath, my thoughts, my reactions, my emotions  and consciously allowing myself to relax into them, only then do I start to understand that I choose peace. I chose it! Each and every time I seek refuge in my heart. “There is no path to peace peace is the path”. Peace is the currency I deposit into each and every moment of my life, not because I have to, not because I need to, because I choose to. I am honored to be alive, I am honored to be sharing this life with you, to be apart of something powerful happening, the transformation of the consciousness on this planet.~L Picture source: Chloe Crespi Photography

March 2011


Someone once told me that there was a path to peace. I searched for years for this path
looking this way and that, asking questions, seeking answers, following others, getting caught up in the wild wilderness of struggle, separation, conflict , glamor, anxiety, drama, fear and worry.

All the while still wanting, still waiting for something, for someone
to bring me the peace I desired.

I thought that if i looked hard enough I would find it, if my life was free of the above circumstances I would have it, touch it, taste it.

I searched everywhere, except the one place it could be found. Within.

When it dawned on me that Peace is a state of being not an exclusive travel destination,

that peace is something I experience, then each and every breath became an opportunity. An opportunity to understand the very nature of peace (the energy behind the breath that breathes me) this mysterious energy that animates everything.

I have discovered ways of dwelling more frequently in this inner space, by watching myself, my breath, my thoughts, my reactions, my emotions  and consciously allowing myself to relax into them, only then do I start to understand that I choose peace.

I chose it! Each and every time I seek refuge in my heart. “There is no path to peace
peace is the path”. Peace is the currency I deposit into each and every moment of my life, not because I have to, not because I need to, because I choose to.

I am honored to be alive, I am honored to be sharing this life with you, to be apart of something powerful happening, the transformation of the consciousness on this planet.
