Peace Part 7
February 24, 2025
One of the most effective ways of reconnecting with our peace is through the spoken word. When disheartened or afraid, our unchecked ego mind can work overtime to help us feel better. Depending on our ego type and stress level, it may tell us many things — all the way from “Don’t worry” to “You are doomed.” But many times, in overwhelming fear and discouragement, our ego’s efforts don’t work. If fear and negativity get a foothold, it’s very hard for others to comfort us. If something doesn’t happen to relieve the situation, we can move toward panic and depression. When we’re completely out of touch with our peace, it’s time for the soul to take over.

Just pat the head of a down-and-out dog and tell them they are a good boy or good girl, and then watch their tail wag. I had the pleasure of meeting a shy and somewhat reclusive dog recently. When I patted his head and asked him to sit and shake hands, he gave me a dog smile and became my buddy.
