Walk and Pray for Peace

This past October, a group of Buddhist monks started traveling by foot from Texas, walking over 2300 miles on The Walk for Peace. They will arrive in Washington, D.C. this week. Not a protest nor is a it political statement, this step-by-step journey has been about presence and the mindful practice of choosing peace. 
​
​I have been astounded to watch over this past month as people

have come out to greet the monks with flowers and provisions. In every town, the police have provided safe ​escort and support, and every community has welcomed and offered unique means of care. Thousands of people have been a blessing to them and have in turn, been blessed.

When I learned they would be concluding this journey with an invitation for a global time of meditation and prayer for peace, I requested and was granted permission to support an opportunity for our 1st Pres family to join our hearts to this act of peace and loving-kindness.

I’ll be in the Sanctuary on Wednesday, February 11 at 1:30 pm. It would be lovely to have you here in person; but if you can’t arrange the time, I hope you are able to pause and to be present to add your own prayers and thoughts for peace.

Lord, may be we instruments of your peace, Yvette
