Non-Violence : Reverence for Life
“The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, the most common form, of its innate violence.
To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to many projects, to want to help in everything is to succumb to violence.
The frenzy of the activist neutralizes work for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.” (Thomas Merton )
~ apply this to everything from our day to day, health, parenting and the environment ~
