When was the last time you went to bed without worrying about anything, with a smile carved on your lips, without the obvious tension in your forehead, and with a hopeful heart that tomorrow will bring nothing but joy and blessings?
When was the last time you woke up in the morning oozing with the passion to start the day right, with arms stretched as wide as the Pacific willing to take all challenges and adversaries head-on, with heads up high confident and graceful that all is well despite all that is yet to make sense?
When was the last time you slowed down? That moment when you are entirely still and grounded? No phones in your hand to distract the intricate thoughts moving past your mind. With energies all focused on the present, on the things that are here and now. When was the last time?
This morning, I had a quick run; my 2nd recovery run I should say after I fell ill earlier this month. It was slow but sweet and on my way home, I found an unusual peace that radiated from the sun's gleaming beam and through my heart and my soul. Although I've always been at peace no matter what, today was profoundly exceptional. The kind of peace that you couldn't stop but feel like you're floating in the air; everything else feels so light even the ones that used to weigh me down. The kind of peace that tells you it's okay to slow down; that things will fall right where they should be regardless of current circumstances.
I often feel this feeling whenever I watch the sun rise or the sun set by the bay or on top of the mountains but this morning, all I had to do was look around and find joy in all that's within my reach or the fact that I'm alive, that my spine's still intact, that I'm not getting any surgery and never will be, that dreams will come to life nevermind the delay.
We are all in search of so many things - fame, power, money, glory. Unfortunately, some might have lost their balance along the way. In a complex world such as the one we're living in now, I'd never trade peace and joy for anything else. I've been there; I've lost my balance once. And to have found the peace the world or anything or anyone in it couldn't give is indeed a luxury many couldn't afford.
I hope you are on your way to finding yours.

Wow, I'm happy you've found your peace, I hope you keep letting nature share her peace with you, despite all the hurts the world gives.
For me, it's being a long time since I last felt at ease with life, but after reading this post, I'm hoping to find my peace.
Oh @hopestylist, I don't know how to say this but I'm hoping that you'll find yours in no time. It could be hard at first knowing that life's an endless pit of struggles. But there's always a reason to be happy and I hope you allow the simplest of things to overpower doubts and fears. You will be in a better place one day. Let's hope for that! 🥰
Yeah, I really do hope so. Thanks for your concern 🥺.
I can say I hardly remember when I feel peaceful maybe in my childhood, I always feel anxious and stressed, it's hard to be and sleep in peace in these hard days.
I'm sorry to hear that @noemilunastorta! I know how hard it could be because a few months back I've been behind the shadows myself. I hope you'll find your little corner filled with peace one day. 🥰

Hi @chinito! I don't know how to use photoshop 😂 But I did minor adjustments to the photos using Lightroom.
You are the sweetest. I hope to fully recover soon so I'll be back in traveling. Have you been well?
All good. 😎
What a nice way to answer a question "How did peace a become luxury?". Well, Luxury can’t be everything to everyone. But peace.❤️
Appreciate the compliment, @kawsar8035! I did a few magic tricks in Lightroom but yes, they're beautiful! 😁
