A Hard-line Drawn

A hard-lined drawn: 

there's a hard-line drawn, and forever I seemed afraid to cross it - it's always been my option to choose peace in any moment, my responsibility even, and yet I most often failed to take this on, and so suffered for my choices. 

peace is always mine.

but it's up to me to claim it.

always.

my ego, a false identity indeed, simply does what's needed to keep its special status. To choose peace is counter to its every goal. It's so much easier, for the ego at least, to see attack thoughts everywhere and then counter them all with its own. 

and so my world remains in chaos.

no true peace is found.

until I come up to that hard-line and finally step across, finally choosing peace instead of an unremitting war against myself. The hard-line is this: 

it's my own attack thoughts that give cause to a war-filled world, it never arises without me, and totally up to me if I choose to heal. I'm constantly on the edge of that hard-line, recreating a world that's filled with conflict through almost every thought I hold. 

until I don't. 

now, and it's never not right now...

I choose peace.

a hard-line drawn, 

and a brand new world created.

Peace, Eric
