Hello All,

Perhaps the reminders contained in a few familiar quotes would be helpful:

>From "Desiderata":

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all people.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to all..."

For what this is worth, the entire text may be found at:

"There is no way to peace. Peace itself is the way." I'm still not sure if
the source of this is Gandhi or Buddha or whoever - the source probably
matters less than the wisdom... The truth is where you find it...

Blessings.
