Our Shelter Within
When
we can be secure in our inner source for true happiness, we don’t
expose ourselves to the devastation that comes when outside hopes for
happiness and security are dashed. We have our shelter, our place of
security, inside. And we needn’t be afraid that this is an escapist
shelter. When the basis of our well-being is firm within, we can act
with true courage and compassion for others, for we’re coming from a
solid position of calmness and strength.
