God's Creation was not for us to dominate but to protect, as a loving parent. We are called to preserve and respect, not exploit. For me, the peace movement entails so much. Peace with the Earth, labor disputes, nonviolence. Yet, peace is not an idealistic groping in the dark or an impractical reality which can be implemented only on a small scale.
Peace is the dynamic reality that surrounds our actions.
It is ever present. Often I want to remind people that the world is not as bad as it may seem. God is Joy unleashed. God is present. An area in which my lifestyle has taken a definite discipline has been the most enjoyable experience of becoming a vegan.
