"This is the unusual thing about nonviolence - nobody is defeated, everybody shares in the victory." --Martin Luther King Jr.
A Philly School's Big Bet on Non Violence
So often our mindset is that we must 'control' violence, that we must set out to ensure that violence has no way of inserting itself onto the path we walk each day. And, with respect to our children, we instinctively build fortresses to shield them from harm and injury. But, in doing so aren't we instilling an attitude of continuous fear? Read what happens when a school in the most dangerous section of Philadelphia 'threw aside' its metal detectors and began to focus their energy where it was most needed - that of the heart of their students.
BE THE CHANGE
Take pause in that moment between reaction and action. Know that in all that you do, you have the power to transform the energy of this moment. Find a way to manifest this each day. In doing so, you shall empower all.
