This morning as I was scanning my Facebook feed, I saw a picture that gave me one of my ah-ha moments.
I am a person constantly striving to find peace. I pray, meditate, yoga, read...anything I can think of that might bring me peace. And on a few occasions I've found it. That feeling that all is right with the world and that my heart can relax and just be happy.
This is the picture I saw. My brain immediately said, "exactly." I am constantly saying, "that's not how it's supposed to work" or "life isn't supposed to be like this". While all of my "it's not supposed to" statements might be true in any number of unjust situations in the world, it isn't a peaceful way to think.
I don't know that I have a grasp on what it means to process the world as it is yet; but, I do know that I need to begin to retrain my mind. I don't want to just sit back and let unjustly acts continue, however I believe I can process those better. Maybe by looking at life a little differently my mind will be open to creative thinking about how to solve some of the issues that we face instead of just being in a state of unrest with them.
"Go in peace and the peace of God be with you always."
