Peaceful is the one who is not concerned with having more or less.
Unbound by name and fame
they are free from sorrow from the world
and mostly from themselves

Staying rooted
If you let yourself be blown to and fro
you lose touch with your roots.
If you let restlessness move you
you lose touch with who you are
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching 25

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it,
but to enable it.

A simple lifestyle, freely chosen,

the real questions
The word for September in the Irish language is Meán Fómhair, which can be translated as “Mid harvest”
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?’ These are the real questions.
I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.
Henri Nouwen
a way of peacefulness
Holding onto the world lightly is peacefulness
There is nothing that you need to hold on to
There is nothing that you need to push away
Sutta Nipata 1097
