"I don’ regret the
forty years in the wilderness but I am glad to be in a place of rest; where I
can simply BE what I AM! I feel like I
can take off my shoes, put on my comfortable clothes, and just be home. I feel like I can put down my swords, the
sword of self defense and the sword of righting all wrongs, for there are NO
swords in this place; they have been beaten into plowshares; instruments of
planting peace not wielding war."
