After
the Struggle
After the struggle, the calm. After the confusion the certainty. After
the anger, the love. With no map, you have climbed the mountain of
your life, forced your way round the boulders and through the forests
of obstruction and adversity. Ever striving upward, looking for a
personal haven where none can disturb your emotions and nothing can ripple
the glassy smoothness of your mind, you have strained and
wandered, sometimes in deep despair and fear.
Now,
you have reached the plateau of perfect peace. Now you are here
by your own inner lake. Having found your way here, to your self, you
can come again any time you want. This is the place of beauty deep
within you, your world. This is the center of your being. This is you,
calm and pure, stripped of everything outside you.
Relax
now, in the tranquil stillness, the warmth and safety. You are
welcome here. You are loved. Look around you and learn to feel at
home. This place travels within you wherever you go, ready for you to
enter. This place is you. Close your eyes for a moment and see how
well you can see this scene. In your mind's eye, walk around the lake,
experiencing the fresh sweetness of the air, the scent of the flowers
and the acceptance of you and all you have done and been. After
looking everywhere else, you have found the place you always wanted
was there with you all the time.
When you go back to your daily life, take this restful spot with you.
Close your eyes several times a day and be here again. Reach within to
this haven. Go in peace, feel the peace you carry within you.
