God connect me to peace within...

experienced only in glimpses
while sharing my "shameful" stories
while being respectful to underprivileged  kids
offering food to workers on street as "God's child".

when I am with my talking head - mostly alone or with strangers in stores
when I am in the ocean of dear people's  anxiety, expectations, fears, judgement(s).
when I am around people who are busy with gadgets or gossip about TV shows/their world.
when I am feeling fearful that I will get more pain and less sleep if I pick up the ringing phone or interact.

Peace

God help surrender... (poem)

attachment to expectations- from people
attachment to fears-about sleep, pain, future
attachment to judging- my desires and others actions
attachment to good/bad- my thoughts and my interactions

attachment to scattering-my jumping thoughts take me off  task
attachment to silent talking- with myself and all persons in my world
attachment to seeking acknowledgement-for anything and everything I do
attachment to resisting- all who are not dressed or communicating, the way I like.

***
Peace
