my thoughts move slowly

I’ve crept on a little from yesterday’s eternal anticipation

I’ve been pondering it

For thirteen and a half years now there have been tears in my life every day. Baby tears, toddler tears, childhood tears, crocodile tears and sometimes mama tears.
Imagine a day without tears.
I can’t.

Neither can I imagine a day without turmoil.
A day without a harsh word spoken.
A day without conflict.
And I don’t mean world wars or international disagreements.
I’m just referring to bickering.

I cannot envision peace.
But I have to try.
We are called to live at peace with all men as far as it is possible.
How will we do it if we don’t try?

What does peace look like?
