Peace began her pilgrimage on Jan.1/53 at the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena California and she walked more than 25000 miles until 1981. She walked across the US and walked in Canada too. She died in a car accident.
The Peace Pilgrim truly inspires me and shows me the meaning of peace. She was a woman of great wisdom that grew as she walked her pilgrimage simply being…peace.
For those who have been to my workshops you will find this video so meaningful. If you are just meeting the Peace Pilgrim, I hope she touches your heart as she has mine. By her own life, she has inspired many people to live in peace.

Peace said:
“Evil cannot be overcome by more evil. Evil can only be overcome by good. It is the lesson of the way of love…We need not reach out to tear down that which is evil because nothing which is contrary to God’s laws can endure. All not-good things in the world are transient, containing within themselves the seeds of their own destruction. We can help them to fade away more quickly only insofar as we remain in obedience to God’s law that evil must be overcome with good. Those who create something which is evil in order to overcome something else which is evil only double the evil….In order to help usher in the golden age we must see the good in people. We must know it is there, no matter how deeply it may be buried. It is not through judgment that the good can be reached, but through love and faith.”
