To be peace

Wow! Thank you, Noreen! I am touched... Thank you for your kind words, too... ;)
I am ready for the warm weather, too! Tonight I couldn't believe it; I could smell fresh cut grass...
I hope you get your dream vacation... ! (Kerala looks amazing!) :-)
I was thinking, too about what you said about "being peace". And it brought to mind the 23rd Psalm, which is, to me, all about peace. Leading me beside the still waters... peaceful right? But add to that the analogy that exists within the Psalm that we are like sheep. Sheep are wooly and become water logged quickly; fast rushing water is a danger, and I infer, a possibe source of anxiety to a sheep! Still waters; PEACE. And in the same light, for a sheep to "lie down in green pastures" must imply a very contented sheep, indeed, who's hunger has been satisfied. Peace. And the thing that made me think of you and your post the most; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. I believe that means the result of the impact we have on others and on the world; what we leave behind us in our wake. Goodness. Mercy. Peace.
They follow you, Noreen.
:)
Thank you.
Circe, what a lovely thing to say, go raibh míle maith agat (thanks a lot in Irish). Did you know that 'anam' means 'soul' in Irish? Every time I look at your blog this comes to mind ... maybe because it has so much soul in it, though I know anamnesis means something different, maybe there's a link there?
Thymos is Greek for 'life energy', beautiful isn't it? that lovely underrated organ ...
