Footpaths

The journey towards peace is one in which the
end is not
known at the beginning.

Frequently, the journey cannot be made by flying over the conflict,
or by driving past
the conflict.
Those paths are tempting, but in the end often futile.

It's only by walking
through the conflict,
with the people who
are living it,
sharing the dust,
and the fatigue,
stumbling on rocks,
and starting again;
weeping with those
who weep,
and rejoicing with those who rejoice
that transformation can be reached.

This newsletter is the story of those people
around the world
Who are walking the footpaths of
Truth and Mercy,
Justice and Peace.
