My struggle is to find inner peace without it being contingent upon resolution of affairs in the outer world. I cannot say that I am doing well at this quest right now. The waiting is stealing away my peace, and every attempt to reengage with the world churns up my feelings again. And it will pass; just someday we all pass, too, and there is no more time to find our peace.
I'm right there with you. My brain is cooked. The cost of taking part in this battle is that you don't get to go home until it's over. Normal wars you'd do your tour and go home a hero, maybe do another tour, maybe not. This war though, once you're in, you're sort of a indeterminately lingering nobody.
