We are all part of Gaza, the concentration strip that condensates the unbearable suffering of the world. We are all witnessing unspeakable human suffering and destruction and, we behold the possibility, as humanity, to
disarm with humanity the unhinged rage that dehumanises and destroys all including itself. In the midst of total despair and abomination, humanity is able to fly a kite invoking hope and love beyond time and place, beyond differences and divides. Shane Claiborne’s peace incantation evokes the way to the way; the widening of the field of possibility that widens and reflects the widening of the heart.
“Peace making doesn’t mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free."
