Twelve Peaceful Moments

January 5, 2012 By Sarah Maliphant

Literal peace is pretty rare in the mountains, and yet they always give me a beautifully peaceful feeling. Peace comes from within – yes. I think it can also be tempted to settle in, put it’s feet up and enjoy a nice cuppa with a bit of external encouragement!

If you’ve been flapping your wings pretty fast,

may you find safe moments to rest.

May you discover delicious cakes…

… warm snuggly fires to gaze at…

… and friendships that warm your soul.

May you be replenished by moments to sit and stare…

…find smiles and hugs in nature…

…and relax when it’s a bit sh*tty,

because those times are nourishing too.

May you find pleasure

in small steps and persistence…

…and draw courage from seeing

how far you’ve already come.

May rain and rainbows and sunshine

nourish your dreams…

…and dark times bring you insight.

In short, may you discover more to love, more to give,

more to mountains, more to you.

Happy New Year
