Hear the cicadas sing their song
About the place where we belong
They sing the song of Mother Earth
Share the notes of our new birth.
A gift to realign
Our body, heart, and mind
The vibration tunes us in
When we listen from within.
A special key that helps refine
Our inner recognition of Divine
Vibrating particles of being
That opens up our seeing.
Such simplicity is found
On the wave of pure sound
Ride it joyfully with me
Sings the Earth in harmony.
Her delight at being heard
Is in the song of every bird
Every breeze a sweet caress
That has me bursting in my chest
Creating beauty for my eyes
Every glance a new surprise
May we tend you with true care
Blessed and grateful for all you share.
By Chandra Levy
For so long,
I believed peace waited for me,
after the struggle,
after my end.
I imagined peace as a distant shore,
earned after leaving everything behind.
But I was mistaken.
I do not have to vanish
to be free.
Peace is not hidden
on the other side of my ending.
It is not waiting
beyond my last breath,
or stitched into my passing.
Peace is not the reward for suffering.
It is not the mercy of the grave.
Peace did not ask me to vanish.
It did not demand my absence.
It waited quietly
in the space I had never thought to enter…
within.
Not in escape,
but in arrival.
Not in the falling away,
but in being fully here.
When I stopped trying to disappear,
when I sat still enough to feel
the breath that keeps me tethered,
there it was.
Everlasting peace was never elsewhere.
It had been breathing with me all along.
It lives now,
in the pause between thoughts,
in the warmth of my body,
in the way nature plays.
I do not need to escape this life
to find stillness.
I only need to stop running
from myself.
To sit.
To notice.
To let the noise pass through
without answering it.
Peace is not in death.
It is in presence.
And it is mine,
always here,
always now.

“I Thought I Had to Die to Experience Everlasting Peace”
by David Brand
In the centre of all that is
Within the place of infinite Peace
In the stillness amidst the spin
Radiating out, whilst focused within
We touch a place of ultimate Grace
We meet the reality of immortality
We know the way, we know the how
To breathe the breath of Here and Now
The smallest spark ignites the light
Vibrating frequencies so bright
Where love is totally Divine
Beyond this place, beyond this time
We resonate with pure sound
With lilting melodies profound
On a wave that creates our reality
Playing humbly within duality
With pure desire we realign
Our light being with the Divine
We realise the interconnection
From the centre of perfection
Where we are One with all that is
Where we are One in infinite Peace
In the place from whence we come
In the space where all is One
🕊️
A Poem by Chandra Levy
In the quiet we gather,
Our hearts open wide,
Breathing deep stillness is found,
In this sacred space, we abide.
We plant our dreams,
Sowing seeds of kindness, hope, and grace,
Through every act of peace,
We weave a tapestry, a loving embrace.
Activating peace is uplifting,
In every action, let peace shine,
Every moment an opportunity,
To travel a road divine.
Together in this journey, we find,
That peace is not a distant goal,
But a path we walk,
hand in hand and soul to soul.

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes. As we put aside opinions, concepts, projections, and expectations: we become available to experience this moment with the wonder and innocence of a child.
Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space to explore: “What is this?” “What am I experiencing?” “What am I feeling?”
4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions.
5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.
6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.
7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it.
1. Feel your body.
2. Relax your shoulders.
3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.
4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.
5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.
Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Be curious about what is happening in your body. Without changing anything, just notice what you are feeling. Notice where you are feeling things in your body. Make yourself more comfortable if you’d like. Take a deep breath, and feel the sensation of aliveness and the energy of your body.
