Peace does not mean no strife. One can drink or drug themself into “no strife.” But that is not peace. People who meditate to be peaceful might simply be all about themself. Rather, think of peace as acceptance, as a surrender to that which is. One can be peaceful with a busy, thought-filled meditation because they accept that this is what is at the moment. You might feel better at the time of your meditation, but that will soon leave you as you enter into your more active day with no acceptance. Meditation is not about control. It is about growing up.

I love this. Even if I have a chatty brain during meditation, just the practice and letting go, allows me access to the pause button throughout the day. ❤️
