<underfire> re fluid borders, structured chaos, weak discipline

[Southworth, Kate]

Dear Bracha,

Thank you for your words 'the originary event of peace is compassion'.  They are beautifully simple words, that seem to mean just what they say, but which also seem to refer to your ideas of compassionate hospitality.  Your writing on compassionate hospitality suggests, to me, that peace is a relationship.  

If it is appropriate, I would be very grateful if you could share with us here on this list some of your ideas about compassion and peace.  For me, it is only through attempting to understand the supplementary space that you articulate in your work that it is possible to imagine peace.

warmest regards,

Kate
