How to be at peace now...

By making peace with the present moment.
The present moment is the field
on which the game of life happens.
It cannot happen anywhere else."




"Make friends with the present moment -
don't make it your enemy"




"Whenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking,
you are avoiding what is.
You don't want to be where you are.
Here, now."



"Whatever you accept completely
will take you to peace,
including the acceptance that you cannot accept,
that you are in resistance."



"To offer no resistance to life
is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.
This state is then no longer dependent
upon things being in a certain way, good or bad.
It seems almost paradoxical,
yet when your inner dependency on form is gone,
the general conditions of your life, the outer forms,
tend to improve greatly.
Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed
for your happiness
now come to you with no struggle or effort on your part,
and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them - while they last.
All those things, of course, will still pass away,
cycles will come and go, but with dependency gone
there is no fear of loss anymore.
Life flows with ease.".............Eckhart Tolle
