The melody to the song the Eagles made famous wafted through my mind. I mindlessly looked up the lyrics to see if there was more to the music than the melody. And there was.
" 'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground "
~ Songwriter Jack Tempchin ~
These lyrics speak loudly to the way I feel about life as I know it.
I listen to the world around me, those who stand on their platforms and spew negativity, those who skew the truths of the world around them and focus on the negative and basically the words that cycle through my consciousness and plant seeds of doubt and infect my thoughts.
I keep coming back to this "peaceful easy feeling". Others won't let me down. Because I'm already standing on the ground.
I feel grounded. I feel rooted in family, friends and community. I have faith that everything will work out okay. I feel safe, secure and happy within the world I live in. I'm already standing on the ground.
I hope to spread this feeling and infect others with this peaceful easy feeling. It is one small way I hope to make a mark within this world I live in.
May the ground beneath your feet feel solid, safe and comforting. May you have a peaceful, easy day.
