"This begins to get at it -- what 'peace' can mean and why it's our future, if we are to have a future. It's not the naive, wishful thinking of the inexperienced, as it's so often portrayed; nor is it a tense and temporary armed standoff between adversaries; nor is it a wall, a barbed-wire fence, that keeps 'them' out.
Rather, peace is a primal cry of the soul, a naked groping for commonality. It is eye contact with 'the enemy' and, when necessary, the acceptance of a greater burden of responsibility than anyone could reasonably be expected to bear."
