,,,there is a...kind of peace...(that) does not come either from the denial of evil or the acceptance of oppression.

This kind of peace comes with the realization that it is our obligation to birth it for the rest of the world so that what the mangers and crèches and crib sets of the world point to can become real in us—and because of us—in our own time.
