My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war but to all other factors that threaten peace such as discrimination such as inequality poverty.
Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.
Grace is in garments in movements in manners beauty in the nude and in forms. This is true of bodies but when we speak of feelings beauty is in their spirituality and grace in their moderation.
Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.
