Peace is not the absence of challenge or difficulty, but the release of judgment and fear. It begins in our own hearts, minds, and lives. We cannot control or govern the hearts and minds of another, but we can reclaim our own capacity to be at peace with all things, including ourselves. Learning to make peace with ourselves is the first step in understanding what it means to be at peace with all things.
