“Peace is within all of us.”
The 19 monks who just recently finished their 2,300 mile trek are truly inspiring and amazing. The timing couldn’t have been better, considering our current environment. These monks didn’t have to do this at all. Yet they chose to spread the word of peace to all our brothers and sisters.
Their beautiful journey started in Texas in October and concluded in Washington just recently. At the beginning of the walk there wasn’t really a lot of press coverage or attention. Since then, however, everywhere they showed up there were thousands and thousands of supporters there to greet them. People from all walks of life showing up to spread the beautiful word of peace. It gives me great hope to see so many come out with open hearts and open arms for our brothers and sisters. We are all in this together, and we will continue to struggle if we stay divided. Choose peace, love, and understanding.
These beautiful monks radiating that peace is not something you look outside of yourself for. Peace is actually from within. So it’s always your choice to “be one with it.” The mass following of these monks just proves that most of us truly want peace for all.
Please, if you get a chance, watch some of the footage of the loving, healing journey they took, along with their beautul dog, Aloka, who also healed many along the way with his amazing spirit and strength. Their journey will make you light up with joy and probably have you shedding a few tears. Much love to all and may peace fill your hearts and souls.
