I looked across the river to manhattan. it was a great view. when sadie and i had first arrived at brooklyn house, amos had told us that magicians tried to stay out of manhattan. he said manhattan had other problems--whatever that meant. and sometimes when i looked across the water, i could swear i was seeing things. sadie laughed about it, but once i thought i saw a flying horse. probably just the mansion's magic barriers causing optical illusions, but still, it was weird.

When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others. inner peace is not found by staying on the surface of life, or by attempting to escape from life through any means. inner peace is found by facing life squarely, solving its problems, and delving as far beneath its surface as possible to discover its verities and realities.
