“Recipe for Peace: always welcome yourself with Loving and open arms to wherever you are and always be gentle with yourself for wherever you've been, knowing that at every point the experiences, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that one has been given is the only well one has to draw from in the doing of one's best. As each of us proceeds according to the best Light we have, it is accounted as righteousness... no matter the outcome.”
