UNCONDITIONAL OPENNESS
"The peace that we are looking for is not peace that crumbles
as soon as there is difficulty or chaos.
Whether we're seeking inner peace or global peace
or a combination of the two,
the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of
unconditional openness to all that arises.
Peace isn't an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth,
it's an experience that's expansive enough
to include all that arises without feeling threatened."
