A Sign of Peace

“I would like to leave you with this poem which I have had on my wall for the better part of my sentence”, Pierre (not his real name) wrote:

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensibility and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
