disturbing. In part, that is because a bombing in our mother country and

is almost like a bombing in our own country. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am now more acutely aware
that Africa is the Mother Country - in the sense of the human species - the
mother of us all - and while our MOTHER is suffering, we will all feel the
pain....I hope that we can move beyond selective 'tribalism' to include
our connection with all life on MOTHER EARTH.<br>
<br>
One of our Australian political leaders referred to the terrorists as
'sub-human filth' - this type of demonising and monster-making will only
add to the justification for the perpetuation of the cycles of vengeance and
violence. Until we truly see that each of us is connected on this planet - it
will be difficult to create the space for authentic dialogue with those who are
different. <br>
<br>
Gandhi said it well, in words that sounded like: <br>
Unless I recognise that the evil that I see in my enemy also exists within me <br>
and that the good that I know is within me also exists in my enemy, <br>
I have no way of sustaining a commitment to nonviolent solutions.<br>
<br>
This is for me one of the most powerful reasons for continuing to open space
for dialogue - naming the capacity for evil and hate within myself and
recognising the humanity of others - regardless of the acts of violence they
feel compelled - or inspired - to perpetrate<br>
<br>
Peace to all <br>
