Is it the absence of war, or a reduction in violence? Is it the freedom to live, with access to safe food, water and shelter? Does it mean living without fear?
It is the ability to be with family and friends? How about being able to openly love whomever you chose?
Or is it the ability to sit quietly in the forest, by a brook, or in a field, listening to the wind, the birds, the insects and amphibians?
Perhaps it's meditation and a clear mind?
Can you smell peace? Is it the scent of cooking fires roasting the day's food? What about the aroma of new flowers blooming on old trees?
Maybe you can hold peace, like a newborn child, or a delicate butterfly?
Is the ability to play, to run, to jump, to sit, to smile, a possible option?
Or is it the rain after a long drought, or the clear sky after perpetual wetness? The warmth of the sun or the cool of the shade?
Perhaps it's simply the ability, the freedom, to ponder the meaning of Peace?
