They’d cost $30 and be 16.5 x 23 inches in size)

Inner Peace asks that we carefully select what we emotionally hook into. As an outsider to the culture you will experience rejection. It is important to accept that as a given, and get your validation from kindred spirits, from your interior world, and your knowledge of yourself as a good person – an openminded person of goodwill and integrity.
Go in peace and let others dance their own dance to the drumbeat that calls to them. There are larger things going on that we cannot understand. Internal Peace requires that we accept that.
If we can’t accept, we need to ignore.
