Over the past several days, I have had the good fortune of speaking with a number of my colleagues about the next phase of the Walk for Peace. I have spoken about my vision for the Walk, as well as the practical, day to day needs that will serve to support that vision.
One of the things that I hold as a valuable way to grow the vision for the Walk, is to connect various Peace activities to one another. This way, the energy grows, the myriad people around the globe who are working for Peace have the benefit of meeting and being with others who seek Peace and the ripple of the Walk for Peace spreads further and further.
Another way that I know the Walk will expand is through collaboration. For me, this means reaching out to people and inviting them to join me. It means clearly asking for support and coactive engagement. And, it means opening up to suggestions about what the next step is.
Tonght, as I think about the Walk for Peace, I am aware that the energy to keep going comes not only from within, but also from every person I interact with, and, that it is complimented by actively choosing Peace as a way of being.
I believe that Peace Unites. Through kindness, inclusion, and engagement in all of our interactions, we can work together to grow the circle of Peace, one moment at a time. And, I believe that this is the moment that we must come together, find Peace as our mission, and spread our message around the globe.
Our world needs Peace today. Now. It’s time we stand up together and make our world a place of Peace for everyone.
