Keep calm and be peaceful...

Today was called International Peace Day. 

I woke and communed with the elements. I sat and breathed. I remained seated on the floor and repeated 7 A’s, 7 O’s and 7 M’s. I did various exercises and Namaskars. I mentally recited the 26 virtues in a difficult posture, following my breathing. I sensed parts of my body and my whole body. I worked, walked, shopped, made food, ate, rested, repeated a sensing exercise and looked inward for 21 mins. I worked again. I went out. I came back. I noticed thoughts. I allowed no destructive, violent, angry or even critical thought to influence me today. 

I did not know this day was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly as “Peace Day”. But today is nothing special. Every day is peace day if you truly look inward and understand. But how many people do?
