Peace is Not Something You Can Force

"Peace is not something you can force
on anything or anyone –
much less upon one's own mind.
It is like trying to quiet the ocean
by pressing upon the waves.
Sanity lies in somehow opening to the chaos,
allowing anxiety, moving deeply into the tumult,
diving deeply in the waves, where underneath,
within, peace simply is." ~ Gerald May
