But, whatever the initial seed of trauma, the deeper truth is that our suffering is more closely a result of how we deal with the effect these past events have on us in the present. — Peter A.

In so doing, we will significantly increase our ability to achieve both our individual and collective dreams. — Peter A. Levine
