Peace as a positive condition of society, not merely as an interim between wars, is something so unknown that it casts no images on the mind's screen.
I learn to affirm Truth's light at strange turns of the mind's road, wrong turns that lead over the border into wonder....
It's when we face for a moment the worst our kind can do, and shudder to know the taint in our own selves, that awe cracks the mind's shell and enters the heart.
