Have you met people whose anger is contagious? Don’t you find this to be true of angry people in general? They are eager to share their fury with anyone who will listen, if only to gain support and validate themselves, but their net effect is to stir up strife and contention. Yet have you also encountered those with an inner sense of calm who maintain it in spite of the turmoil around them? The gravity of their presence is also contagious and serves to calm the nerves of those around them. I said that the peacemakers are blessed. Do you assume that you must negotiate a peace treaty to qualify for this description? Your very presence may have more effect than you think, for you are my child.
I’m leaving town for a few days and expect to resume messages Tuesday.
