#peace of the Spirit

2024 APRIL 30 Tuesday

"Peace is the simplicity of the Spirit, its serenity, the tranquility of the soul, the bond of love. Peace is order, harmony in all our being; It is a continuous joy which is born from the testimony of a good conscience; It is the holy joy of a heart in which God reigns. Peace is the path of perfection, or rather in peace is perfection. And the demon, who knows all this very well, makes all his efforts to make us lose our peace. We will never take a step towards the virtue of evangelical simplicity if we do not strive to live in a holy and unalterable peace. Sweet is the yoke of Jesus, slight its weight, which is why do not allow the enemy to insert themselves into our heart to tear away this peace. The enemy of our salvation knows too well that the peace of the heart is a secure sign of divine assistance, and that is why he does not let any opportunity to make us lose it. So let's always be alert to this. Jesus will help us. Let us turn our thought to heaven, our true homeland, of which this world is only a poor image, and let's strive with divine aid to keep, in all sad or joyful events, this serenity and this calm that befits real disciples of the Nazarene."

~ Saint Pio of Pietralcina "Padre Pio", Words of Padre Pio, Chapter 10; 290-294

Thinking of how a birthday party on the ship with the 41st would look like 🧐?

This is why they never get anything done.

Okay but, I watched the Ayakashi Bakeneko arc again with a friend, joking that "haha, it's Medicine Seller's first day at a new job so he's different from the Mononoke series". And when we get to the point where the Bakeneko shows its Reason this is how he looks at it all

All of his joy and optimism, gone. He was actually lighthearted before shit hit the fan, flirting with Kayo and teasing Odajima. But now it's like this enlightened creature realizes for the first time what atrocities humans are actually capable of. It's just disgust and disappointment. No wonder he's so different in the Mononoke series, because now he has expectations for what his job is gonna be like

"It can be argued that an immortal would have to be distant, or eventually all it would know is loss. What would our world look like to such a creature? What actions would they be capable of when everything except themselves is fleeting and therefore of little relevance to eternity? If we as elvhen discover a path back to what we were, we must be sure that the path is wide enough for all. For the individual who stumbles into that journey, who endures when all else is dust, can only be alone." - Keeper Ilan'ta

Even the most aware of us do not realize the infinite power we possess or the magnitude of the ability we have to create, transmute, and transcend.
