Peace

The moment I have a few minutes to myself I have to just take it. One breath at a time. In and out. Take it easy and clear my mind. It's important to say a word of prayer in silence. To God. Be still and feel His presence. To be at peace is all I ask for.

Allah! I say and I be silent. My mind drifts with the things I have to do for my family. All I want is a few moments of peace so that I can focus on prayer. Isn't that too hard to ask for? Alone, by myself, I am capable of it. But then things don't get done. Will there ever be true peace?

Breathe in and out. In and out. I love it when I get a moment of peace. All is still. At least until I get called. But until then, I can say that I have peace. Brilliant.
