"Peace is This Moment Without Judgement", by Dorothy Hunt

Reviewing my posts around the Holidays, I read "Preparing the Heart for the Holidays", where I share part of a poem that Tara Brach shared in her talk.

Here is the full poem.

Peace Is This Moment Without Judgment

by Dorothy Hunt

Do you think peace requires an end to war?

Or tigers eating only vegetables?

Does peace require an absence from

your boss, your spouse, yourself?...

Do you think peace will come some other place than here?

Some other time than Now?

In some other heart than yours?

Peace is this moment without judgment.

That is all. This moment in the Heart-space

where everything that is is welcome.

Peace is this moment without thinking

that it should be some other way,

that you should feel some other thing,

that your life should unfold according to your plans.

Peace is this moment without judgment,

this moment in the Heart-space where

everything that is is welcome.
