When I talk about me being peace, it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel emotions like fear, doubt, anxiety, etc.
I do feel them. Especially now with all of the changes and new experiences I described the other day.
The difference is that I’m aware of the emotion as an emotion and not who I am. I don’t lose myself in it the way I have in the past.
This is very different than what I imagined “being peace” was. I thought it meant being the strong but flexible tree that bends with the wind yet is unphased by the chaos around it. That tree does exist, but it’s a deep inner experience. My mind and body still experience all of the storms that come with being human.
So in a way, things are exactly the same and completely different. And I love it.
