A Pause of Peace

Continuing along the vein that 'Peace is a principle', 'love is a principle' and such, and that a 'principle' is the foundation, do I have to 'work' at Peace?



The more I have learned about the 'Joy-Peace' cycle that builds one's capacity to cope with stress, with life more efficiently, the more I am convinced that Peace may be more like the 'pause', the 'rest' as illustrated in the heart cycle. The pumping part of the heart cycle is important, but so is the 'rest'. If the heart only 'rests' it is considered 'dead' or if there were only a 'beat' the heart would not be able to continue pumping blood.



I need that kind of peace in my life.
