This issue of the Mountain Record takes up the theme of Morality in the World. Rather than following our impulse to turn away from difficulties, to separate or isolate ourselves, a truly ethical response requires that we muster our courage and practice intimacy-that we be, as Daido Roshi puts it, "willing to enter the fray." Includes authors Wangari Maathai, Rita Gross, Wendell Berry and Edward Tick, among others.
