QUESTION
I like the idea of making nonviolence a guiding principle in my life, but I am vow-phobic. Can I participate in being a part of ?

Even if you aren’t comfortable taking the vow formally but are dedicated to nonviolence, then you are still participating in this global effort on the level of your consciousness, and that of course is the most powerful contribution we can make.

Feel free to participate in whatever way that feels right to you. Some affirm their intention without saying the word “vow” others feel better using the word “peace,” some just like saying “I am” as their way of participating in this collective shift in global consciousness. So find whatever way joining the effort that resonates with you.

I first came upon "the vow" about a month ago, and basically had to let it sink in for a while before I actually took it. I'm glad I honored myself and gave myself the time I needed to know that this was the right thing for me to do.
