From Margot E.: “I rush about frantically! I am running, running, running…from what? Myself? My own thoughts? My own pain? I am learning to slow down. Every thought does not require an action. I am learning to be still. [I] am learning to sit in the silence. I am learning to listen in the stillness and the silence for the voice of my Higher Power. The voice says, “You are never alone.”’ (on peace of mind)
FIRST KNOWING THAT PEACE IS “A PRICELESS GIFT” –
“By this time, in all probability, we have gained some measure of release from our more devastating handicaps. We enjoy moments in which there is something like real peace of mind. To those of us, who have hitherto known only excitement, depression, or anxiety – in other words, to all of us – this newfound peace is a priceless gift.” (12 & 12, p. 74)
AND THAT ANY AMOUNT OF PEACE OF MIND IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT –
“The process of the Seventh Step brings about a peace of mind that we never dreamed possible. We sense that what is present throughout our search for spiritual growth is our ability to feel our Higher Power’s love for us.” “It doesn’t matter that we will not attain a state of perfection or complete humility in our lifetime.” (It Works, How & Why, p. 53)
“Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony. Never get angry, for anger poisons your system.”
– Paramahansa Yogananda (1893 – 1953) renowned Bengali Yogi

What have you done to achieve “harmony”, lately?
I rush about frantically! I am running, running, running…from what? Myself? My own thoughts? My own pain? I am learning to slow down. Every thought does not require an action. I am learning to be still. I am learning to sit in the silence. I am learning to listen in the stillness and the silence for the voice of my Higher Power. The voice says, “You are never alone.”
