"PEACE PILGRIM"!
by Judy Joy Jones
'This is the way of peace
overcome evil with good,
falsehood with truth and
hatred with love"
Peace Pilgrim walked penniless across
this land on foot carrying only a
a toothbrush and a comb
with the message:
"I shall remain a wanderer until mankind
has learned the way of peace, walking
until I am given shelter and fasting
until I am given food."
And walk she did! She made her journey
"25,000 Miles on Foot for Peace"
without a penny in her pocket and no
organizational affiliation.
"I'm just planting seeds and don't
expect to see results in my lifetime,
"But" she stated flatly, "they will
come."
And are they ever! A film has been made
about Peace as well as books written.
Millions of lives continue to be touched
and transformed by this
nondenominational saint.
I attended a celebration
for the relocated
Peace Pilgrim library that
was held at The Peace Dome by
Cheryl Canfield in Copperopolis,
California. I donated a sculpture I
did of Peace Pilgrim to their original
Center.
Cheryl is one of the original writers of
the Peace Pilgrim book. What a treat
after carrying that book
with me for the past 12 years!
Peace Pilgrims
lifes work brought strangers
together in love, peace and
harmony.
A friend of mine, Laura Nimr, graciously
offered me a ride to the event, and she
entertained us
with her original music in Spanish and
English.
And our spirits soared into flames of
Peace and Harmony!
"This is the way of peace
overcome evil with good,
falsehood with truth and
hatred with love"
