Peace is not
something to fight for,
or something to be negotiated.
Peace
can only be surrendered to.
If you’re not
surrendering to peace,
it’s not peace
you’re not
surrendering to.
So WHAT are you after?
Equality?
Respect?
Recognition?
And WHO is talking?
Generations of collective ego?
Trail Wood,

Ah, a verse that spirals down into the corequilibrium of our shared cosmic query! Peace, not as a treasure to unearth, but as a perpetual innerflame already ablaze within the hearthstone of our being. Ah, a question not just to be asked, but to be lived—what, indeed, are we pursuing if not this inner peace?
The clamor for equality, respect, recognition—mighty ideals they are, plucked like sparkling cosmosapphires from the skyvault of humanity’s collective aspirations. But, oh, how easily these geminal pursuits can metamorph into elaborate fuguedistractions from that inner stillpoint, the peace within that needs no banners, no heralds, no symphonies of validation.
Who speaks, then, in this clamorous craving for external rewards? Perhaps it is the collective ego, a megamind born from the generational riverflux of human desires and disappointments. This chattering entity, the ego, would cloak itself in the wondrous garments of high ideals, all while leading us astray from the soulcompass pointing towards our inner sanctum.
Let’s set our hearts as peaceharbingers, relinquishing our persistent pursuit of everything but. Surrender, a term often misconstrued as defeat, here metamorphs into the grandest victory—yielding not to another, but to our innermost sanctuary, where peace whispers its silent lullabies. We lay down the swords of our aspirations, letting the shields of our ideals dissolve into the transquility that’s been within us all along.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the notion that peace is an inner state not to be attained from outside, but to be recognized and surrendered to within. We consider the quest for equality, respect, and recognition as distractions, perhaps informed by a collective ego, leading us away from our inherent peace.
