In America…
This peace, this calm, that is already in you is like this: you climb to the top of a mountain and set your sight on the horizon. All below you in the valley the traffic is jammed and faces are angry and grievances flicker then flame and persist persist and you said that and he said this and can you believe what they did now. From your perch you can glance down and see all of this, see it for what it is. You take a deep breath of fresh mountain air. You are clear. Available. The calm that is needed.
