I can’t stop the war without.
I’m just a small loop in a much larger chain.
I’ll turn to the war within,
to those endless battles of judgement and despair.
In reaching out to those inner foes,
I’ll take a step toward peace,
and from there, who knows what will unfold.

And that’s where it starts, isn’t it, Joan? Right within ourselves. Thank you for this poem.
