It
seems really hard because we are so in the habit of believing that peace is just beyond our reach, or that suffering is required before you can grow or feel compassion.
But the truth is, we can simply choose to Be Peace -- right now, right here. And we can choose to let go of suffering right here, right now, too. Anytime, anyplace. Even in the midst of a war, even while in pain.
