Selections from Steps toward Inner Peace: Introduction Selections from Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words:
Growing Up
|
Peace Pilgrim Peace Pilgrim was a spiritual seeker who, from 1953 until 1981, walked more than 25,000 miles
across
the United States spreading her message: "Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love." Carrying in her pockets her only possessions (a
toothbrush, pen and
paper, and a few other items), she walked until given shelter and fasted until given
food. She talked with people along the way, discussing peace within and without. Peace Pilgrim was, and is, an inspiration to the millions of people who have been touched by her example. Her words survive in a small pamphlet called Steps to Inner Peace (click to order) and a larger compilation titled Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words (click to buy). |
