Who Are We Without Our Battles?

Who are we without our battles?  Our internal struggles define us in our daily lives, in the paths we walk, in the choices we make. The artist's struggle for relevance and acclaim. The IT director's push for promotion. The human's yearning for acceptance.

Only in the silence of the night, in the murmur of cars on a distant highway, in the stillness of rain, in moments of deep water and slow summer days do the battles cease. And in the echoing silence left after the ringing of the bells we touch the edges if our potential outside the struggles and there is peace.
