Nonviolence begins with learning how to be less violent and more compassionate towards ourselves. We learn by building the courage to speak and act with respect, honor and reverence for our own being.

Day 60: WITNESSING
“We are each other’s bond,” writes poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Those who
practice nonviolence cannot close their eyes to injustice or cruelty.
We are here to be a witness for justice and compassion. Those who
practice nonviolence look at injustice or cruelty and know that it is
possible for the situation to be different. You can stand up for truth
by your presence, your words and your actions, and by doing so, make a
difference.
Today: When I see injustice, I will say or take
action to bring about a peaceful change. I will write down my thoughts
about the action I took, and share this with another person.
