In these times of war and unrest we all carry many mixed feelings in our hearts — They can range from the strongest hatred and prejudices to the deepest compassion and love. The majority of the girls at Peace are more concerned with the lat- ter, but to each of them, love has its own meaning and finds its own way of expression. At Peace love is found in many places both usual and unex- pected. For some, it is in the letters from their boyfriends — for others it is in the windows on a Friday afternoon waiting for the one that will help them forget the unbearable past week. For those who have really found love they see it every time they turn a corner — a small child, a simple poem, a true friend, a certain song, but most of all that special person who understands, listens, forgives, shares his all. But with the beauty and warmth of love, often comes depression: fear little misun- derstandings that crowd you in; hurt; tears and doubts. Then we begin measuring this feeling we have — but does it hold up to the test — for many it does — for those who find their love in the sim- ple things: the letters; the waiting of Friday after- noons; sharing compassion for others; the desire to be a better person — This all comes from loving — Love is found most everywhere at Peace — look around you — it isn ' t hard to see. w i — .
