A person who truly "is peace"

The inner stillness of a person who truly "is peace" brings peace to the whole interconnected web of life, both inner and outer.

~ Jack Kornfield

The Angels keep their ancient places
Turn but a stone and start a wing!
'Tis ye, 'tis ye, your estranged faces
That miss the many-splendored thing.
