Sunday Story...More Monks!

Last week I went to walk with the monks, as I mentioned in last week's story. Unfortunately, we didn't get a 6-mile walk. We only had a 1-mile walk due to the weather, which was actually very nice except for the end, when it started raining cats and dogs.

The other thing was that there were a whole lot more people there than I think anybody expected. There must have been at least a couple of thousand people, and it was a crowd of calm, peaceful, happy, harmonious people who were there to celebrate a truly amazing accomplishment.

Those monks walked 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. Some of them did it barefoot. They did it in the rain, in the cold, in the heat. It didn't matter; they were just walking for peace.

In these trying times, and there's a lot going on in the world these days, I'm pretty sure that most of us can get behind peace. Pretty sure there are some universal truths that we can all get behind. We'd all be happier if things happened in a more peaceful manner, in a more harmonious manner, in a way that honored every human's purpose on earth, every human's ability, every human's voice. Everyone deserves to be heard, everyone deserves to be respected and honored, everyone.

I hope each of you can walk through your day with peace in your heart, assured of the dignity and respect you deserve as a member of this human race.
