69. Boundaries: the shades of grey between peace and violence

50. World Peace
This
gives a few links and thoughts about one of main passions: peace, in
the sense of the prevention of war. True peace involves quite a bit more
than that, and there is quite an overlap between the two types of
peace, but the article deals with the prevention of war thing. I didn't
write the ritual I mentioned in this post, but an earlier one for the
same cause is over at the Grove of Gyhldeptis blog
(http://groveofgyhldeptis.blogspot.com/2008/06/example-ritual-for-world-and-local.html).
