This story
is particularly relevant to the world today, where countries
are at war, or contemplating in earnest the terrible choice
of violence as a way to solve conflicts. In "Sacrifice",
a good king realises he must help his people to see that
there is another choice - that the goddess Kali no longer
demands blood sacrifice. It is the power of the voice of
a child which opens his heart, showing him another way and
offering redemption from the perpetual motion of horror
and bloodshed that war demands. Of course he immediately
meets opposition by those who do not want to give up the
"old ways" of worship. Many questions arise: Does
he have the right to impose his new vision on the people?
Can one small voice make a difference? How do we let go
of old habits and ways of thinking?
