Peace vs Bliss

Arun - Are peace and bliss synonymous? Can one be there without the other? Is the peace of a cemetery the same as the peace of a garden?
Me - Peace - a mind state beyond distractions.
Bliss - a pleasant distracted sensory state, more transient.
Bliss can be a stepping stone to peace but is not peace in itself.
The aura of cemetery and garden in the context of peace are immediate sensory perceptions. The mood and feel of the perceiver determines the appropriate contextual view.
