Shield of Peace


Peace is a shield, a buckler for any who attain peace as an attribute. It isn't the absent of war, or conflicts. It is the settlement, the place a soul lives as authentically as possible. Purity is a form of divinity. Silence is a source of strength best grasped in the cultural settings of indigenous peoples linked to the time honored craft of being still in the presence of Elders, the movement of sound, and the spirit-that-moves-in-all-things. Maturity one arrives at through the challenges of immaturity, and self-absorption. Adulthood is the stage of life that comes whether one is prepared or not. It is a stage of life. Giving birth to oneself is impossible. Birthing of one's Sacred Dream is within the relationship between the Masculine and the Feminine principles of Creation. It is all the process of Breath. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.12.13
