Sometimes life hurts

(part I)

Disappointment.

Rejection.

Panic.

This is when we need to assert that our peace is the most important thing to us.

Pain makes us say, “I need peace.”  

Lean into meditation.

Being aware is the last thing that feels good.

On the other hand, numbing out is so easy. So so easy.

But! The heart knows otherwise.

A peace so deep, so soothing, all here underneath the pain–it's just one choice away.

And another choice.

And another.

Until the stillness of the Infinite is present again.

It's there waiting for us.

Pain happens.

But choose for peace.
