Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. - Gautama Buddha There have been times in my life when I've felt so ashamed about what I have said or done: times when I didn't like myself . . . and I'm not at peace. What can I do when I feel like this? Well, I feel the feelings. I look at what I am doing that needs radical change. And I try to stay in the now-living one day at a time. St. John of the Cross called it "the dark night of the soul." It eventually passes; the day follows the night. It's life, and it's part of the spiritual life. Everyone has such times, but my experience teaches me that such times eventually pass. Then, yes, we're able to dance again.I'm doing all that I can to maintain peace in my life.
