Why the Moral Argument for Non-Violence Matters

There is a difference between using nonviolent tactics and having nonviolent principles. That difference matters even more today. Kazu Haga, a Kingian Nonviolence trainer based in Oakland, California and founder and coordinator of East Point Peace Academy, explains that nonviolent tactics have victory as the goal and define people as opponents. Nonviolent principles have reconciliation as the goal and define people as being in relationship and part of a beloved community. The core of principled nonviolent action is the unwavering faith in the goodness of human nature. People are not the enemy. Violence and injustice are. A nonviolent revolution binds strategies in principle. { read more }

The Life of Death

Marsha Onderstijn is a Dutch animator who studied at St. Joost Kunstacademie, a fine arts university in the Netherlands, specializing in 2D animation. In her hand-drawn piece, “Life of Death,” Marsha follows a day with Death, who paradoxically learns to fall in love with life. This moving short animation paints Death as a warm character, interested in the goings on of the living, and even feeling remorse for accidentally killing a flower. Marsha invites the viewer to question any fear of death, with old age happily giving into the release and quiet of the next phase of existence. After all, what is death, but the next phase of life? { read more }

The Right Stuff: A Conversation with Jim Brooks

“I’d gone to the Elko, Nevada Cowboy Poetry Festival at the invitation of some friends. I’d been having a great time. “You’ve got to visit Capriolas,” my friend said – Elkos famous vendor of cowboy gear. It’s where I ran into the first black cowboy I’d seen at the festival. I didn’t know it was Jim Brooks, a legendary figure. But I didn’t need to know that. He was such a striking figure, I immediately inserted myself into the little circle of people he was talking with. This was someone I had to learn more about. I figured it was now or never, and a remarkable experience lay ahead.”

The Gypsy Goat Herder

One woman, hundreds of goats, 365 days of the year equals innovation in the realm of environmental care. Lani Malmberg is an inspiration for eco-action, with her work focused on non-toxic land care in the form of herding goats to pastures that would otherwise use health and environmentally harmful pesticides. Drawing from her multiple degrees in weed science, biology, botany and environmental restoration, she came to this innovative alternative to pesticides in weed management, utilizing the natural behavior of goats. Goats clear the vegetation and recycle these weeds through their gut to offer nutrition for the soil. In this video, Lani candidly shares her work on Maui, and expresses the energy of earth compassion and innovation to inspire us all. Her main motivation? To be a model and set an example for others to follow. { read more }

Burundi Genocide Survivor on How Running Helped Him Heal

In 2013, Gilbert Tuhabonye spoke with Celeste Headlee on National Public Radio about running, forgiving, and healing. On the 20th anniversary of the genocide of the Tutsis, he recalls how he, his classmates, and teachers were beaten, locked in a burning building and left to die. He was the only survivor. An Olympic class runner before this tragedy, running became his physical and emotional therapy as a path to healing. His story and his life are an inspiration to many, a reminder that we can overcome injustice, and proof that one person can make a difference. His message is one of triumph, faith, courage, forgiveness and joy. { read more }
