I'd like to tell the many people in communities who are looking for this
impossible ideal: 'Stop looking for peace, give yourselves where you are.
Stop looking at yourselves -- look instead at your brothers and sisters in
need. Be close to those God has given you in community today; and work with
the situation as it is. Ask how you can better love your brothers and
sisters. Then you will find peace. You will find rest and that famous
balance you're looking for between the outward and the inward, between
prayer and activity, between time for yourself and time for others.
Everything will resolve itself through love. Stop wasting time running after
the perfect community. Live your life fully in your community today.'
