Glass Sculptures

Glass sculptures often fracture light into amazing patterns, reminiscent to the wonders of love. This can happen in politics too, with scary surprises of intentional war, even nuclear war. But love can happen too, if one looks for the refraction of its light shining through with unanticipated brilliance. Here we find hope, and if we follow the hope, we may even find it possible to build a future. Winning Without Victory projects the Westphalian Principle of an active peace, the win/win principle that leaves no one vanquished but uplifts the world, where the advantage of the other is the keystone for an enriched civilization. This humanist foundation is a fit platform for meeting the Ice Age challenge, the most severe challenge in the entire history of humanity. The book presented here (Book 6) is a part of a series of selected chapters from my novel, Winning Without Victory. The multi-part series is created to highlight that Active Peace, though it is achievable, is not simplistic, but has many facets, with each being profound.
