I am 65 and have never been able to escape the stress or find the peace I need so much! I can NOT tune out or turn off the things going on around me and they seem to just build to a degree of severe intolerance to everything! I can’t tell you the last time I truly relaxed, or if I ever even have……….Dan

What an important notion, inner peace. That was my answer when people asked what I wanted to do with my life, ” I want to feel inner peace”. I do now, it took over six decades to understand the degree of trauma I had endured in the childhood not found in my thoughts. I believed I was unique, however I was badly damaged, and merely manifesting the terrible cost. I never trusted anyone. I had to look up love in the dictionary to see if that was what I was feeling. Tenderness existed, I could not recognize it. I obstinately believed I was normal, all my life. I tried to fit. I did not fit. When a person is changed from a social being to a being of survival, certain drives may be jettisoned in service to safety. It makes for a very difficult life, reflecting on my own. I saw what other people did for happiness and peace, but I could not join them. I liked them, but I trusted no one. Ultimately, some time ago, I began to practice following advice, much like the above. I never gave up, I believed true happiness existed, as well as inner peace, I suffered miserably, consistently at my own hand, or lack of self control. But, I am here, it is very nice. I am profoundly grateful for the beauty in front of my face, that I was blind to most of my life.
