This is a good day to reconsider everything in our power to change.  I know change is possible.  I have seen people whose lives were turned around completely – not only those whose lives were destroyed when this war began.  I have also seen people whose lives were created, whose values have appeared, whose hearts have grown.  When I compare the demonstrators in the U.S. colleges to the volunteers in all the recovery organizations here, I am overwhelmed by the difference.  And these people were only two years ago doing as much as possible to avoid interaction with society.   Now it’s all about helping, donating, joining.

So I’m thinking about what to change in my life.
