A great friend of mine sent this to me a long time ago and one of the joys of moving is finding little treasures hidden in your desk that you loved enough to keep but didn't know where to put it.
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.
Some signs of inner peace include...
-A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fear based past experiences.
-An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment
-A loss of interest in judging other people
-A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
-A loss of interest in conflict
-A loss of the ability to worry, (this is a serious symptom)
-Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation and gratitude
-An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
-An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
Taken as a whole, these spell peace. Taken individually, they lead to peace.

Hello, Jen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family at the top of your blog!
I am writing as the author of SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE. What you have posted is most, but not all of it.
The sage observation at the bottom is wonderful. "Taken as a whole, these spell peace. Taken individually, they lead to peace." That is so right-on-the-money, I wish I could take credit for it, but alas, I can't. It is someone else's contribution; maybe yours?
I invite you & your readers to visit symptomsofinnerpeace.net for the complete writing as well as a little more about it and a poster. Contact info for publishing can also be found there.
Also, I would very much appreciate it if you would add to your post "by Saskia Davis ©1984." It would be great, then, to hear back from you with your site URL.
Many blessings, and thanks for being part of the worldwide inner peace pandemic!
Saskia Davis, author
