Sometimes I feel that peace is just inches form my nose. I could raise a hand and grab it. But I will not do it. I can't, I don't want to... who knows? I can almost touch it, and yet there is an abyss in between. How frustrating!

Frustrating yes! But at least you can see it within your grasp, (((((((( stefano )))))))))

*agrees with pegasus - you can see it there, even if you can't grasp it you can have the hope that one day you can

Stephano~ may the abyss become ever so small that you can touch and hold the peace within. May the peace you see within reach be the peace that settles your soul and calms your thoughts. May those around you help build the bridge that spans any depth, any width of despair you feel. May you hold tight to who you are deep within.

Maybe peace is not something you can grab, maybe you just get it when you stop looking for it, like when something else becomes more interesting :-)

Yes, isn't it funny how we get so close. We can see it, feel it surrounding us. Every ounce of our being knows that it is there and yet we cannot bring ourselves to take that last step, make that one final gesture.

As a frog of little brain, I sometimes wonder if perhaps we fear the answer. Perhaps the peace we are seeking isn't really there. Perhaps peace only exists in our imagination.

Your inner strength will help you decide if what you want is actually there. Once that decision is made everything else will seem attainable.

Sei davvero speciale per me. Trust in yourself.
