I am in NYC. I am alive. I HAD to write something for the world. I am
ready to help violence leave the earth. Here is my recipe. My tears
have gone. How it is all about healing...
I must stare in the the face of dispair with hope.
All my love,

How do we leave terrorism behind?
The September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States have left
millions in horror and grief. The central nervous system of the global
economy has been paralyzed. It will be a long road to recovery. The
world has changed forever. I believe anyone could become a terrorist,
anyone who is hurt inside.
How can we leave hurt behind?
We must recognize injustice and participate together in healing.
Forgiveness is our greatest healing device.
What can I do?
Be the change that you wish to see in the world. Love as much as you
can. Create a world that works for all.
The existing system for global decision making doesn't work. How can we
change it?
The definition of democracy is "participation of the people in decision
making." Planning must be done by the people, not for the people. Too
few people are involved in decision making. Too many are not able or
not allowed to participate.
Young people are the greatest untapped resource in the world today.
They have idealism and high energy. They rejuvenate institutions and
their allies. They are better connected on the Internet than any group.
The time has come to build a World Youth Parliament that will rest on
the grassroots supports of youth and their allies, will participate in
global decision making, and build world democracy.
