walking by the river
—
peace does not mean to be in a place
with no chaos, trouble, or hard realities to deal with.
peace means to be in the midst of all those things
and still remain mentally, emotionally, and physically centered.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I suppose without the strife of life peace would have no meaning.

Lovely scene, serenity is, Beth.
FYI, you have the Big Ten men’s lacrosse tournament starting today in your hometown. I’ll be rooting on my Terps via the Big Ten Network via my recliner. 🤓

Peace always feels special because true peace comes from within…so many people look for peace outside themselves or for others to make it happen, yet they find frustration instead, beautiful poem and photo.

Great message. It’s about being in control of our own reactions, not allowing ourselves mentally or physically to spin out of control…
