Serenity

I am trying to find peace.  Peace of mind, peace of heart, peace in my body that betrays.  I am trying to find and give peace to my relationships to those that own my heart and those of strangers.  I am trying to find a way to live in a world that I know I have it so much better than so many yet it is not enough, and not feel selfish in wanting more.  I am trying to create my own path in this life that I can look back on and be proud when it concludes.  I am trying to find a way to own that truth and be strong in my truth and do the best I can with what is in front of me.  I am fighting to be better than I thought I could be.  I am trying to find that sweet spot between cloaking myself in a protective 'rainbow of light' while  being vulnerable and raw to the world as I experience it every day.  I am trying to do with my life what everyone else is trying to do...find peace.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
