"Militarists say that to gain peace we must prepare for war. I think we get what we prepare for. If we want a world where peace is valued, we must teach ourselves to believe that peace is not a "utopian vision" but a real responsibility that must be worked for each day and every day in small and large ways. Any one of us can contribute to building a world where peace and justice prevail.   Jody Williams  Activist, writer, teacher, Nobel laureate.   More information on Jody Williams. Lafayette Clayworks  is located in New Jersey.

Keep singing in the name of peace.

But when can I break my long silence? When can I speak the unuttered words that are choking me?
