Ten years ago, the tragedy of September 11th irrevocably changed life in America, and correspondently our relations with the rest of the world. In this September issue of the Journal, we reflect on that tragedy and its continuing related conflicts as we try to imagine peace in the world and in our own personal lives. Approaching the Autumnal Equinox, when the polarites of light and dark are balanced, We affirm the balance and harmony of life on Earth. We see the Earth and perceive its Wholeness, the Total Relatedness of every Living Being. We conceive Diversity in Unity, Unity in Diversity. We believe in Peace We believe in Peace as an Ideal and a Reality. |
