Today, I was honored to witness the monks along their Walk for Peace, near the border of North and South Carolina.
It’s Day 81 of their 2,300 mile journey from Dallas, Texas to Washington DC. They walk to raise awareness for peace, love, kindness, and compassion, and to support healing, unity, and harmony.
As they passed the spot where I stood, one of the monks reached out and handed me a sunflower.
Many of the monks were carrying flowers, of all colors and kinds. He was the only one I saw with a sunflower.
Anyone who knows me well will tell you that sunflowers are my favorite.
I’d be lying if I said something didn’t catch in my throat and tears didn’t well up a bit in my eyes.
Peace.
❤️
