“How good it is to center down! To sit quietly and see one’s self pass by!”

Howard Thurman

True peace is not passive. Once you have true peace, you will actively do whatever you have to do to protect it.

I am reminded of my mother’s wise words that would prepare me for life - "Sheila, waiting is a part of life, and sometimes you will have no control over it. But you can control how you wait by what you do in the meantime."
