An Intention of Peace

Pythia PeayFor others, as for myself, the yearning for just a drop of miraculous balm to quiet the troubled waters of daily life is universal.

by Marie T. Russell. Judgment plays a big part in our lives, so much that we are not even aware most of the time that we are judging. If you didn't think that something was bad, it wouldn't upset you. If you didn't think that something was good, you wouldn't feel any loss when it was absent... Read More...
