So we all talked a lot about peace and love yesterday and I do believe that "Love is the answer" and "There is no way to peace, peace is the way" and I have come to beautiful Bath for a spa weekend to relax my mind, body and spirit and find peace within myself (and I needed this before Friday's events in Paris). But I am struggling. I struggled in the Thermae Bath Spa yesterday surrounded by noisy, noisy groups and over-intimate couples. I struggle with the red dye coming off my new bag onto my new coat. Most of all I struggled with the noisy, noisy hen party (or large noisy group of women getting together for whatever reason) banging and yelling and giggling last night in the B&B where I was trying to stay peacefully passed out. And I thought I was peaceful until I went into breakfast and there they were being just as noisy. So, although my day to day irritations are nothing on our global scale I am struggling to love these people who disturb my peace with only their joy and happiness. It is a lot to ask others to forgive, love and be peaceful in difficult circumstances when we struggle to forgive, love and be peaceful with these tiny day to day irritations. As much as we might talk about peace and love and forgiveness we must find it in ourselves and give it to ourselves before we can give it to anyone else. So I'm back to the spa and the healing waters to try and calm the tension and pain in my body, and hopefully when I can calm down the pain in my lower back and butt I can do better at being peace. If we can bring peace to ourselves, to our bodies then we can have more hope in bringing it to everything we touch.
