Through me course wide rivers and in me rise tall mountains. And beyond the thickets of my agitation and confusion there stretch the wide plains of my peace and surrender. All landscapes are within me. And there is room for everything.

This is such a beautiful and illustrative quote, it's very moving. So sad to hear of the sorrow for the author behind it. Thank you very much for sharing.

I’m glad she was willing to put words to her experience during what must have been a very scary time. It gives me hope that I too can find this inside me somewhere. Self-isolations pales in comparison.
