REJECTAMENTA: Exploring Some Symbols of Peace

IMAGE:  An russet mandala with a central coruscation with floral designs against wood.

Frida: 	  To me, peace is a kind of circle . . .

Satoru:   Makes sense. Peace represents some sort of completion, doesn't it? 
          Often that involves coming full-circle to reach a state of equilibrium. 

Dmiritri: (nodding) It is a singularity in more ways than one.

Ying:     Yet perhaps we should remember perfect equilibrium never exist in this world.
          To really achieve peace, it is to transcend this world. That's why
          meditation and prayer is so important.
