From Fragile Peace to Inner Peace
There are two kinds of peace.
Peace when everything goes smoothly
like a beginner swimmer, taking the test in calm water, with a coach standing nearby.
This peace relies on external conditions: still water, good weather, and someone to lean on.
Peace that no longer depends on smoothness
like a seasoned swimmer gliding like a fish.
They can swim in waves, in rain, in the dark
needing no calm surface, no external assurance, no perfect setup.
Because they have become one with the current no longer searching for calmness,
but moving from it.
An Ontological Metaphor
A skilled swimmer in life
is not someone who shines only on sunny days,
but one who quietly swims through storms,
with steady breath
and unwavering presence.
True peace
is not a state where “everything is okay”
but a state where one no longer depends on things being okay.
Calmness doesn’t come from having passed the test
but from having practiced to the point where the test no longer causes trembling.
When things go smoothly it may just be luck.
Peace is when you don’t need luck,
and are no longer afraid of chaos.
