The ‘state of the world’ is an accurate and perfect out-picturing of the individual’s war within themselves.

So to be surprised by anything going on ‘out there’, especially when you’ve yet to contend with what’s going on ‘in here’, is kind of silly.

How could you expect or want peace in the world if you can’t even generate it within?

It starts and ends with you, boo.

It starts and ends with me, too.

But also,

there is no start and there is no end.

There is only what IS for infinity.

And if you’re fighting the is-ness of life,

yourself,

or another…

surprise, bitch.

That’s how wars begin.
