Quality time

When you’ve begun to forge a friendship
    with your new acquaintance, Peace,
            ...commit!

Go deeper in Its bosom;
    invite It deeper still in yours.
Woo It, court It... unto marriage.

You will know
    you fully know
            It
          when It
    surpasses understanding of the mind.

Content your soul

Accomplish the central desires of your being.
Shun all things which are, to it, anathema.

As you cultivate the depths of peace
    you’ll better spot them both:
    those calmly resolute and deepest passions;
    those restless, superficial quests that never end.

Every morning, every night: recommit
    your life
        to all convictions of your soul.

Therein lives your peace.
