“There is a certain kind of peace that is not merely the absence of war. It is larger than that. The peace I am thinking of is not at the mercy of history's rule, nor is it a passive surrender to the status quo. The peace I am thinking of is the dance of an open mind when it engages another equally open one -- an activity that occurs most naturally, most often in the reading/writing world we live in. Accessible as it is, this particular kind of peace warrants vigilance.” ThinkingWorldWritingMindKindWarCertainReadingPeaceParticularActivityMercyAbsenceSurrenderPassiveStatus QuoOpen MindUbuntuVigilanceWarrantsReading Writing Book:The Dancing Mind Source: The Dancing Mind
