Lights! Camera! Drama ! Peace !

Most of the people I meet 

want to be happy and peaceful...

"PEACEFUL" like the crosslegged-meditating Buddha

with a
beatific 

serene 

nonplussed smile,
watching the world pass by !

For me, this version of peace is fine
but it can also be

very unidimensional 

Breathing in 

Breathing out

Mindfully 

or so it seems....

Peace almost seems to be an autopilot, in this version

As if in a controlled laboratory 

Non explosive 

and Too perfect to be true!

My version of Peace is more in the market place

It is the momentary Breath I take on the diving board before I plunge into the depths of emotional chaos !

The centeredness amidst the intense unpredictable "Life can be such a b***h' moments.....

Peace for me, is connecting to reality not perfection...sometimes you can be angry as hell and peaceful, both together!

It is being equanimous amidst ups and downs.....

in the lows...not making life appear "More Challenging" than it is  

and in the highs, allowing the adrenaline moments float by nonchalantly ! 

Peace is that one breath I connect to amidst the s**ttiest of heartbreaks 

and that palm I squeeze with compassion, during my biggest of fights !

Peace is that one sip of hot chai in the middle of the 

cluttered 

disorganised room...

Peace has all the drama, yet a clarity !
