Please forward hither & yon. - Steve ---------------------- Peace-by-Peace journey begins in Berkeley on MLK Day, 1-21-02 ---------------------- December 4, 2001 Dear Friends, I hope this letter finds you well, healthy and strong in body, mind, and spirit. In about 7 weeks, the Peace-by-Peace journey will begin. We have a lot of preparation ahead of us, and hope you can help in any way you feel moved to do so. The following letter has our updated route, web site, and PO Box, as well as general information. Please feel free to circulate! May peace grow in all our hearts. We are writing to invite you to participate with us in a peace movement. On Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 21, 2002, a small group of people from the Bay Area, will begin a walk starting in Berkeley, California, and ending in Washington D.C., on September 11, 2002. We call this walk, peace-by-peace. Inspired by Peace Pilgrim and precipitated by recent global events, this walk is a prayer of and for peace. It is a moving meditation centered in each of our own quests for inner peace, as well as our collective desire to actively participate in creating a world where we can live together equitably and harmoniously. We invite you to join us on our walk, for a mile, an hour, a day, or all the way to Washington DC! Our route will begin in Berkeley California on January 21, 2002 and take us through the California Central Valley. We will then travel through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia arriving in Washington DC on September 11,2002. (Please see the end of this letter for a list of major cities on our route.) We are seeking opportunities to meet in fellowship with: peace organizations, churches, spiritual/intentional communities, student peace groups, schools, labor union groups and any other interested organizations and individuals along the way. We welcome all spiritual/practical/logistical/financial support, especially by way of fellowship, food, lodging, on our journey. We thank you, and whole-heartedly appreciate your participation and support. "We who work for peace must not falter. We must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can, we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and to know that peace is possible. Ultimate peace begins within. When we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war." - Peace Pilgrim *Our website is under construction and should be up in a few weeks: <http://www.walkforpeace>. *If you are local to the Bay Area and would like to be contacted for our upcoming benefit/send-off party, please send your name address and phone number to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
