What’s Peacefulness?

What’s Peacefulness?

Question: What’s peacefulness like?
Answer: What is confusion? Well, peacefulness is the end of confusion.

The forest is peaceful, why aren’t you?
You hold onto things causing your confusion.
Let nature teach you. Hear the bird’s song; then let go.
If you know nature, you’ll know Dhamma.
If you know Dhamma, you’ll know nature.
