Day 117

It is again with a heavy heart that I sit to write this post tonight. The unrest caused by the attempted coup in Turkey is palpable.

Again, I am resolved to do more in the Walk for Peace.

I had a conversation with a woman in the drug store today. As she came in the door, she commented that she liked my shirt. I thanked her and told her about the Walk for Peace. She seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, but said she was glad to hear that “somebody was doing some good”.

Next, I went and spent a couple of hours at Valentina’s, talking to folks about Peace. I explained that I am holding a meeting there (Valentina’s Bistro in Grass Valley, CA from 6:30-8:00 pm on Tuesday, 7/19), to build community and to get people talking with one another about Peace. I also asked them to invite folks they know to come and be a part the community.

I am a single individual doing what I can for Peace. Next week, I’ll hold the first of what I hope will be many meetings to join in community for Peace. I will continue to be a voice for Peace wherever I am. I firmly believe that we have the ability to bring Peace into our lives and the lives of others, as well as the world.

We make time for the things that are “important” in our lives; imagine what could happen if taking action for Peace fell into the “important” category…
