Pax Materna

I am so deeply moved by this:http://www.anothermother.org/paxmaterna.html

I JOIN WITH MY SISTERS IN EVERY LANDIN THE PAX MATERNA -A PERMANENT DECLARATION OF PEACETHAT TRANSCENDS OUR IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES. IN THE NUCLEAR SHADOW, WAR IS OBSOLETE.I WILL NO LONGER SUFFER IT IN SILENCENOR SUSTAIN IT BY COMPLICITY. THEY SHALL NOT SEND MY SON TO FIGHT ANOTHER MOTHER'S SON.

FOR NOW, FOREVER, THERE IS NO MOTHER WHO IS ENEMY TO ANOTHER MOTHER.

The idea that "for now, forever, there is no mother who is enemy to another mother" is so deeply moving and powerful to me. I want to remember this and work from this place every day.
