520 |a What does it mean to live in global times of terror? What are our responsibilities to children in such times? This paper draws attention to how war and terror are internal states that express themselves externally.

Contemplative practice offers a productive means for acquiring embodied insight. From this educative insight, we can clarify our responsibilities to children.
