Question... Why, when people advertise for inner peace (meditation, religion, what have you) do they always show pictures of young, lean women with perfect skin? Are fat old people with moles not expected to be able to find inner peace? Or will inner peace suddenly, miraculously manifest the acne and wrinkles away? Age should be glorified my friends. Our wrinkles are our pasts written on our face. Our scars are the narrative of our life-long stories. Our anxieties are the reminder of what we once feared, and should not be taken for granted. It is just as important to acknowledge fear as it is to embrace peace. Afloat in the void, deep cold, silence beyond the absence of noise. Spider webs of fear cling. A space suit against the unknown. Step into the void. reach not for what you desire but reach beyond, reach for what is seen, even if only in a dream. Know yourself. Feel your limits. Be proud of your boundaries. Give to those around you, but do not give yourself. Keep yourself within. Stand your ground. Let those around you know where they end and you begin.
