You're right when you say that one cannot describe peace and often I wonder whether nature is peace or chaos. I guess it's both and we decipher according to our state of mind.<br /><br />Joy always,<br />SusanS.

Yours is a thought- provoking poem. I also liked how the closing stanza throws a different light on the whole poem.

You describe a real journey towards it here--I found the part of the parachute jumping especially vivid--I wonder why! (Maybe I know it all too well!) Thanks. k.

I really enjoyed all of your reflections. I found it interesting thinking about nature not teaching peace...so true, as in nature there is always predator and prey...and then there are nature's hard-hitting storms. I tried meditation once too but failed because I could never clear my mind of thoughts and finally decided it wasn't for me. I like the idea that peace is 'here' within the limitation of your words. I think you are right!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773948027407820171.post-10180568673610754622013-09-21T17:11:47.310-06:002013-09-21T17:11:47.310-06:00I do feel peaceful in the midst of nature by which...I do feel peaceful in the midst of nature by which I mean being in the woods, in the mountains, by the ocean, or in the desert. Yet, I know that nearly everything in nature lives by killing, that nearly everything in nature dies alone, and that literally in nature dies without the benefit of medical care and painkillers. I'm aware of the irony in my feelings of peace, and I'm ever aware that everything I get from being in the wild is dependent upon being warm and having plenty of food.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773948027407820171.post-69660174587958131792013-09-21T17:04:57.441-06:002013-09-21T17:04:57.441-06:00spill other's red intrinsic beauty....love tha...spill other's red intrinsic beauty....love that...the spilling of their beauty...and it is in their ignorance...i like the admission as well that you cant define peace...in a sense we can but have never really experienced it...only small tastes...the last line raised the corner of my lips in a smile...yes.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
