Peace & Religion
Peace involves a profound crisis of identity. The boundaries of self and other, friend and foe, must be redrawn. … If faith is enlisted in the cause of war, there must be an equal and opposite counter-voice in the name of peace. If religion is not part of solution, it will certainly be part of the problem.

When you love
When you are touched,
May it be the gentleness
You desire,
Your lover’s hands sending
Each caress deep into your skin
Like a discovering glance.

World-changing work
People teach as an act of construction and reconstruction and as a gift of oneself to others. I teach in the hope of making the world a better place.
