Making peace with ourselves

Frances Vaughan
October 1997 (Vol. X, No. 9)

Making peace with ourselves means accessing inner peace that can be cultivated and extended to others. Authentic inner peace does not mean living in isolation, but discovering our own true nature and living in harmony with other people and the environment.

Quote of the Day

To arrive where you are,
to get from where you are not,
You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy.
In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way
which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go by the way in which you are not.
And what you do not know
is the only thing you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.
~ T. S. Eliot from "East Coker" in FOUR QUARTETS
