How do you find peace? By going within. Certainly, it can be found outside of you,
but not for long, for that is not the nature of the external world. There you may get shaken up a bit, tossed
about by the waves, and that is as it should be. But when you grow weary of the learning experiences
offered to you there on the surface, sink, sink, sink to the quiet waters
within. You cannot stay there forever,
either, nor does your soul want to, for it longs to stretch and grow. This is the nature of life: ongoing cycles of stretching, growth, rest,
and regeneration. You see it in nature
all around you. When you can see it and
recognize it within yourself, you can find peace even within the duality.
