Over the past several days, I have spent long periods of time walking parts of the California El Camino Real – which is a 600 mile road that runs from Sonoma to San Diego and connects the missions, some presidios and some pueblos within the state. This bell in Palo Alto is one of 550 that exist (some original and some replicas) along the route.
These pictures are of one small portion of te Stanford campus that I could see from the beautifully maintained bike/walking path that runs along side it.
I walked past a group of four men sitting in a Parking lot taking a break this afternoon, and then I turned around and approached them. When I did, I met Augustine and three other men who were eating their lunch. Augustine and I began to talk a bit and I shared what I’m doing. I then asked my new friend, “What brings you Peace?” He replied, “God. God brings me Peace every day.” We continued to talk about his family, kindness and interacting in kind ways toward one another. I asked if we could take a “selfie”, and he agreed, wondering if he was going to be famous. I told him his face would be on my website and in the Walk for Peace story, but I couldn’t guarantee fame. We laughed a bit, and as I got ready to leave, Augustine said, “You made my whole day.” Funny thing, Augustine made my whole day, too.
Sweet sweet sweet. Made our days. And making our days.
Well, your Blogs kinda make my day too!!
Hugs,

I am happy and pleased you continue every day to reach out in love and kindness. What a wonderful journey of awakening
You and the Peace strangers turned friends have made one another’s days a lot on this journey. That’s great.
Thanks, Dita. It is really neat to connect with people in this way – we need it in this world!
