Peace Pilgrim - How far would you walk for peace? Maybe around the block? A mile? Five miles? How about 25,000 miles? That's what Peace Pilgrim did. "From 1953 to 1981 a silver haired woman calling herself only `Peace Pilgrim' walked more than 25,000 miles on a personal pilgrimage for peace. She vowed to `remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food.' In the course of 28 years of walking she touched the hearts, minds, and lives of thousands of individuals all across North America. Her message was both simple and profound: `This is the way of peace: overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.'" You can read about her life, her journey, and her message at this site. Since her death in 1981, others have taken up similar quests, and you can read their stories here.
