Peace Pilgrim

Peace Pilgrim was the most wonderful human being. On January 1, 1953 she gave up her name and all her material possesions and vowed "to remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace." She walked "as a prayer" and between 1953 and 1964 walked 25,000 miles. She continued walking until her death in 1981. The book Peace Pilgrim Her Life and Work in Her Own Words is one of those books you pick up and open to a page that touches on whatever you happen to be dealing with that day. She has the wisdom and grace of an elightened being and her words will touch your heart. Truely insirational in a loving-kindness world acceptance way. This book should always be on your bedside table to remind you how wonderful the world can be. Peace Pilgrim makes you want to be a better person.
