Our Work For Peace Must Begin Within

Your Body Must Become Familiar With Its Death - In All Its Possible Forms And Degrees - As A Self-evident, Imminent, And Emotionally Neutral Step On The Way Towards The Goal You Have Found Worthy Of Your Life.

To Preserve The Silence Within--amid All The Noise. To Remain Open And Quiet, A Moist Humus In The Fertile Darkness Where The Rain Falls And The Grain Ripens--no Matter How Many Tramp Across The Parade Ground In Whirling Dust Under An Arid Sky.

This Accidental Meeting Of Possibilities Calls Itself I. I Ask: What Am I Doing Here? And, At Once, This I Becomes Unreal.

In The Presence Of God, Nothing Stands Between Him And Us - We Are Forgiven. But We Cannot Feel His Presence If Anything Is Allowed To Stand Between Ourselves And Others.

Acts Of Violence-- Whether On A Large Or A Small Scale, The Bitter Paradox: The Meaningfulness Of Death--and The Meaninglessness Of Killing.
