Reach out to those you fear.
Touch the heart of complexity.
Imagine beyond what is seen.
Risk vulnerability one step at a time.


John Paul Lederach,
The Moral Imagination: The Art and Soul of Building Peace



"The number of documented victims of extrajudicial killings is much higher than the number of political prisoners: 350 political prisoners over more than a thousand extrajudicial killings [in the Philippines in the last 10 years]."

Prison walls and iron bars can only lock away our bodies
but not our minds, our thoughts and what we stand for.
