Storytelling
Violence & Peace
Spirituality - our lived relationship with mystery - is not for experts. It's about learning to love life, face fear, to figure out what should be embraced, what should be laughed at, and what really matters.

Violence declines when human beings refuse to tolerate the cruelty that is considered normal in their generation. The stories we tell about violence can fuel it, or empty it of power.
