I want my children and future generations to grow up free and in a peaceful world. War is not freedom it is a malignant force imposed by men in power. We must change the views of people in power now and let them know that in a diplomatic and peaceful way issues can be solved.

• Qué frágil y efímera es la sustancia material de las cartas, lo que hace que su propia supervivencia sea tan arriesgada. La letra impresa tiene su propia permanencia, aunque no merezca mucho la pena conservarla, pero ¡una carta! Transmitida por un medio de transporte incierto, sobre el que el remitente no tiene ningún control; confiada a una sola persona que puede ser descuidada o poco apreciativa; dejada a merced de las generaciones futuras, de familias tal vez ansiosas por suprimir el pasado, de los accidentes de mudanzas y limpiezas de casas, o de la mera ignorancia. Cuántas veces han sobrevivido por pura casualidad.

Gracias a nuestro cuerpo, Dios nos ha unido tan estrechamente al mundo que nos rodea que podemos sentir la desertización del suelo casi como una dolencia física, y la extinción de una especie como una dolorosa desfiguración. No dejemos a nuestro paso una estela de destrucción y muerte que afectará a nuestras propias vidas y a las de las generaciones futuras.
