Peace is found in a single step – though most trip trying to run there.
We long for peace as though it were a distant city, sprinting toward it until we inevitably tumble over our own urgency. Yet peace has always been a slow creature, reached not by racing but by placing one honest foot in front of the other.
Step vs. Stumble
A single mindful step can calm a storm, while running blindly only feeds it. The path isn’t hard — the pace is.
The Lesson in Pace
Peace isn’t waiting at the finish line; it’s hidden in the step you’re skipping. Slow down, breathe, and let your foot find the earth. Peace arrives when running stops pretending to be progress.
Practical Guidance
Take one step: Not ten — just one.
Stop the sprint: Running rarely leads where you think.
Let the ground meet you: Peace rises when you stop rushing past it.
Today’s Practice
Today, walk slowly for one minute — and call that peace.
