What Is Peace Felt?

We all have special memories with loved ones or astounding moments with nature we can all use for quiet moments of reflection. Recognizing the need for peaceful reflection, however brief, is essential. Did you ever count the ways in which we can use our imaginations to escape daily stress even for just one moment or five minutes? Creating such a list establishes a strong reminder for us to capture those moments in times of need. By having them at our disposal in our busy modern lives, we can better take advantage of quite moments of stillness in order to free our minds of daily clutter and worries. In addition, our brilliance becomes more free to enlighten our imaginations and conjure up ideas. It's so good for our health, our souls and our mental outlooks! So, with that in mind, I have compiled a list of reflective moments that may be helpful, accompanied by beautiful photography.

Contemplate, close your eyes and use your imagination. Enjoy . . . .

A fresh blanket of fallen snow

A soft breeze tickling your face

Looking up at the stars on a clear October night

Viewing a beautiful work of art

Winter's first snow

Beholding the landscape from the dune top

A warm smile

A warm bed

Walking through a grassy meadow

Watching and listening to children build sand castles

Holding a lovers hand

A purring kitty cat

Becoming one with a soothing saxophone solo

Observing busy little ants

When ones soul finally understands another's

A stroll through a beautiful garden landscape

Children laughing

Bedtime stories

Fairy tale endings

A mother's tender kiss

A visit from Grandma

The echo of a distant train whistle

Alone deep in the forest

The sound of gentle waves cascading across grains of sand

Sifting sand through your fingers

Fulfilling a promise

Making Up

Making Love

Observing butterflies flutter from flower to flower

Witnessing a golden sunset over Lake Michigan

A hot meal

A good movie

A candle lit bath

Singing in the shower

When the beauty of a flower stops you in your tracks

Windswept resonances through treetops

Watching little fishes float freely

Standing outside during a warm downpour with open arms

The scent of fresh air after a morning rain shower

Silence in the marsh

When you have the beach all to yourself

Wading barefoot through a hidden forest pond

Free falling snowflakes

Listening to Christmas carols

Springtime blossoms

First warm day of Spring after a long hard Winter

Sitting around the campfire with loved ones

Listening to children's prayers

The colors and beauty of a freshly fallen autumn leaf

The hush after a thunderstorm

One's awareness of deep inhaling and exhaling

Trusting in The Creator and The Universe

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray mankind will find the love to live in peace
