If there is to be peace in the world,
there must be peace in nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
there must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
there must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
there must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
there must be peace in the heart.
~Lao Tsu
Ah, but there's the rub. Finding peace in one's heart and one's mind is a lifelong quest. As soon as we think we may have reached our goal, something happens that tests our concepts and assumptions. Staying at place of peace in our hearts and in our minds is probably the most difficult task we can attempt to master. Yet bringing harmony to chaos is the most important undertaking of our lifetime.
