A discreet bow out of a toxic situation or place, is this essentially a nod to peace?
When, rather than argue a point that would no sooner be mute, one allows a pause instead and perhaps enables peace?
“Letting go” instead of committing to all personal injustices unseen and unappreciated, could it be? Choosing peace?
A word, deed, or lack thereof that pulsates and throbs within one’s chest, yet forgiveness swiftly soothes without the urge for reciprocation. Yes, this must be, choosing peace.
Limiting confrontations to only a few absolutes and choosing to give in while not at all giving up, all those times…wow, all along.
It is, choosing peace.

What a great lesson for today. Modern take on the old adage “Choose your battles”. I hear echoes of childhood and mom. But, this post is so much more…the emotions & thoughts in the moment tempered with awareness and self-restraint that lends itself to the bigger picture. It’s not the loudest voice that is necessarily heard.
Absolutely Katie! It was written after the realization that peace can come subtly too…
Thank you!
