In February of this year, I set out on a 2500 mile walk through all 50 states to generate a remembrance of our true nature of Peace. To date, I have covered 628 miles in 16 states and have been inspired and encourages by all that I have experienced.
My journey along this 2500 "Path to Peace" increasingly affirms the very message I have set out to spread - that we are indeed ONE and our true nature is Peace. It is evident in the communal outreach that can be found in every small town, each populated city and every large metropolis that the tour has led me. When one is focused on Unity, it is evident everywhere. Especially heartening, is the gathering of support that we have witnessed in the aftermath of the many natural and man-made disasters that have occurred recently. Even as hopeful, is the increased mention in the media, as more and more groups express the desire to "seek a common ground". Perhaps to emphasize this broadening awareness, I have been privileged to encounter unique individuals who share this message of the heart:

A mother of a young woman who perished on Flight 93, who will bicycle the path her daughter flew that fateful day, to commemorate the 10 year anniversary on September 11, 2011, with the quote she found in her childhood journal, "I ask Peace".

Twin, octogenerian, sisters who have been lovingly feeding the homeless, impoverished and home-bound for more that 25 years in Knoxville, TN.

A vivacious and ambitious woman in Virginia Beach, VA who opened a thriving retail shop dedicated to Peace, Love and Balance the same month that the financial upheaval hit in 2008.

And many more.

The goal of World Peace is not a fanciful notion but, it helps if you are out of your mind and into your heart. That is, out of your logical mind and its divisive view of the world and into the perspective of your soul. If not for the brain's deception, the Path to Peace is effortless. So, as I as I have surpassed the quarter mark on my journey to spread Peace, I am driven by the vision of a heart-inspired world.
