Let me get to it then: infuse these lines with waterfalls of joy that thunder gaily to the catchment down below and pour themselves into my vital stream of energy, which holds me steady as my legs grow weak, dear-sighted as my vision dims, head up as spinal cord degenerates, and bears me floating finally and painlessly to denouement, climactic ecstasy.

However, peace at the level of ideas seemed to be inordinately effective. The Celebrating our 125th Anniversary Quaker Peace Testimony is a case in point.

Equally important, however, are the references given in the copious notes at the end of each essay. These are a very strong incentive to further readings on peace work.
