To be at peace with it. To be at peace with peace. I find that I chased my shadow because I didn't know that non abuse was possible. That there's a place, a planet, galaxy, universe, of non abuse, and that one can live there and call it home. I used to think that abuse was home. Now I think (thinking is OK for me, as long as it leads to peace -- then the thinking disappears) that peace is my true home. ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Kubric, who also did " 2002: A Space Odyssey. " You can get a sense for how his genius(?) began. I.e., very rentable DVD. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
