ENDING WAR – LIVING PEACE
is the focus of my life.

As a veteran of the Vietnam War I am intimately aware
of the roots of violence -
one of these roots is ignorance.

Ignorance leads us to believe
that we are separate from each other.

Ignorance prevents us in these moments
from living the interconnected reality of all that is.
