PEACE

You felt what was real. Now let yourself rest in it.

Drop your shoulders.

Seriously. Right now. Notice where they are. Notice how that feels.

Peace lives in these images the way it lives in a shoreline at low tide. Present. Spacious. Patient. Asking nothing of you.

The water moves slowly here. The light rests on the surface like it has nowhere to be. The rocks have been standing through every tide that has ever come and gone, and they are entirely unbothered.

This is what the ocean looks like when it exhales.

And something about witnessing it makes you exhale too.

Peace is available to you.

Not someday.

Now.

Right now.

Not because anything changed.

Because you paused long enough to let it land.

Peace was never at the end of the list.

It was always right here, just one breath away.
