Ravya, this moved me deeply. Thank you for your words. This particularly touched: "The first hostage I take is my own heart. And the first peace accord I need to build is with myself." Just beginning to learn the amount of patience, tenderness, and compassion required.
"negotiating small ceasefires with myself" — that feels familiar . . . Great piece, Ravya!
While I don't wish it upon you or anyone, it is confirmation that we are all human and struggling with similar things. Thank you, John.
