Serenity in Daily Living


Serenity is simple: it is contentment in all things and happiness with the small things of life, knowing that great and small are the same essential pulse of consciousness. This is serenity in action, in the quiet expression of life, in knowing your life's passage, in delighting in the great mystery and discovering that although in the end there is no mystery, the experience of serenity is both reverential and mysterious.

This is the place within us where beauty always grows, unstoppable and eternal. From this come great inner blessings. It is in the surrender to serenity that we become most human. Serenity is not so much a state of mind but more of a state of being. It is not dependent on knowing things but on being truly at ease with your heart, mind and body and all their interactions.

You are truly rich, having all that you need when simply, without fuss, you have peace of mind. You then discover the experience of doing nothing while doing everything. By experiencing serenity in small things, you know and understand that both fleeting and impermanent, all things are nothing without serenity.
