In my view of the world and of the power of OST, I believe that peace is always present as our natural state, under the surface. OST opens that window so that we can become conscious of what is already there. It is not something out there, too far to be reached. It is here, it is now, and it is time to open space all over the world to work with the peace that God gave us.
Absolutely. What became very clear to me in The Middle East is that for all the chaos, confusion and conflict so obviously present, Pease was by no means a stranger. It remained only to enable people to experience what they already were, and build upon that realization. As we in the US prepare for whatever Bin Laden & Co may have in store for us, I think we could learn much from that experience. As anxiety goes up, space closes down, and we forget what is naturally ours.
