Now together and apart
We feel unity
Happy silence dusts our ears
Memories of long ago
Deepen our time now
Gazes,smiles and touch enough
Make the daytime slow.
This and this and this
Thus and thus and thus
All is one and shall be so
True love,she does know.
This is an interesting article about how acceptance is so important for us in order to live the best way we can. when we have problems,neuroses etc.This website,The Negative Psychologist is one I came upon when reading another blog here.

If someone hurts you,retaliation
makes you feel better for a moment but in the long
run it perpetuates the
evil that men do lives
after them and endless
retaliation makes wars inevitably wrecks
the richness we leave for our children’s
children’s children.
What to do or
say,when is enough
Enough.
Enough?
Or is it just a decision we must take without fear?
This is very interesting and the whole site is good

Extract:
In examining the lives of these quiet heroes, Kohut concluded that they all manifested three features that gave their courage the qualities of groundedness and non-psychosis, but also allowed them to transcend the entrapment of the status quo. These three features were not necessarily equally present in these different individuals but they all seemed to manifest them in obvious measure so that it was clearly discernable by others. These three features are: 1) a sense of humor, 2) the ability to respond to others with empathy, and 3) a deep sense of peace. This latter attribute was especially noteworthy in spite of the intense inner struggle underway in them as they faced their choices and their agonizing consequences. Their personalities seemed filled with a profound sense of serenity, perhaps close to what we would call wisdom. These three elements, especially the sense of peace or serenity, always seemed evident to observers, even to their torturers, persecutors and executioners.
