Peace

Some people long for peace.  They see it as some distant objective, possibly attainable through much hard work and effort, but not really probable.

Some people strive for peace.  They are the ones who do the hard work, diligently, believing that peace is indeed within their grasp.

Then there are those who radiate peace.  These people have a calmness about them, a beauty that shines from within; the warmth of their smile draws you in and near them is where you want to stay.  The goodness in their soul is obvious and, if you listen closely, you can almost hear it calling you to come sit by it and find peace for yourself.

Those of us who are fortunate enough to have encountered a person such as this would do well to follow them closely, as it is from them that we will learn what peace truly is and then, heeding the call of their soul, be able to find some peace for ourselves.
