A Response to Mohsin Hamid’s story, “Of Windows and Doors” from the New Yorker, Nov14, 2016

Whether you live in the USA
Or a war-torn country,

You will have to build community:
Care for the children
Transport the frail
Feed the hungry
Allow sleep
Find your voice
Dance duets and solos
Set boundaries
Listen
Tolerate differences
Wait your turn

For peace is a many faceted phenomena-
tiny and humongous.

You are the force for peace;
it’s creator!

Will the USA

find a woman-bonneted

Mott wrote:

 “The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation,

because in the degradation of women,

the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.”
