Stress Less. Live More.

These lovely words, "Stress less. Live more." are engraved on a bench plaque on the river road where I like to walk in the mornings. I smile every time I pass it. None of us are immune to stress, but we do have the power to not let it rule our lives. As Leo Buscaglia said, “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”

Peace

That moment when the world is still, 

and the winds are quiet. 

In the instance when happiness prevails,

and sadness is overcome.

The time when rapture is at it's peak, 

and sorrow is buried.  

In the moment when the sun rises above

the earth and the whispering

secrets of men bring out

the brilliance of it's light. 

In the twinkling of the stars and the

irridescense of the sun's setting.

When the universe is hushed,

and tranquility is the ruler.

In this omniscient moment, 

discovery will come to pass, 

and peace will dwell in the heart.
