Bug Juice 1/15/05
"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is a hard glass of bug juice to swallow (for me, anyhow.) I want peace on earth, I want peace in my home, I want peace in my relationships... peace peace peace... but I realize that peace is a state of being within myself, not a measure of compatibility with the universe. If I want peace, I have to make it here in my soul - only then can I hope to infect the world with it.
