Facing yourself.

The key to all things is not hiding from yourself.

All your struggles, difficulties, and fights with others can be traced back to yourself.

Not that all difficulties are your fault, but that the real pain is not facing these things and compounding them by seeking peace in these situations outside of yourself.

When you have conquered the enemy within, all external enemies become pussycats. I am fearful to even write such a thing.

This is scary, because it leaves room for nothing else but self responsibility.

When individuals take responsibility for their lives, a peace that cannot be had through collective planning finds its way to reality.

This is easy to say, of course, and not so easy to do.

But then, what is?

Peace to all the creators out there bringing peace to the world.

The act of creation vindicates, elevates, and assimilates us all.

Now to do the dishes.

But first, through that, to tend to the crying baby inside, that has been needing love, affection, and attention for so many years now.

Bless you.
