This, I’m afraid to say, is a little rushed due to the submission work. I was intending to share a poem about love, but I decided it’s too personal. Instead, I created a very short freewrite about peaceful moments I have experienced.
Quietness, a sense of stillness. We can sit, our hands touching, and say nothing. There’s not always a need for words, not always a need to be the loudest. We can sit, leaning together, the dog curled up on the sofa next to us, and be our little family. We can sit, your arm around me or my head on your shoulder, and feel comfort. We can sit, and just be.
Peace in relationships doesn’t have to be about a couple, of course – it could have been about siblings, friends, parents and children – but to me, peace is always quiet, it’s always stillness. It was the same in earlier peace freewrites too: these ideas instantly come to mind because I value them so much.
That got me thinking – peace might be completely different for someone else. It might be the moment before a bungee jump, or the sound of your child laughing, or a hug from your best friend when you’re feeling low. So maybe it’s not about peace in relationships exactly; maybe it’s two, or three, or five people who all value the same thing. Maybe it’s about sharing your own peace.
And maybe we feel peaceful because we’ve found that connection.
So freewrite about your own peaceful moments, and see what you discover!
Happy writing,
EJ

This is a great post for the challenge, EJ. I’ve never really thought about ‘peace’ being different for different people before – nicely done! 😀
Thank you 🙂 Sometimes I have these random thoughts, and where better to share them?! 😉
