Peace Pilgrim, born in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey. A woman who believed in peace. She gave up all her worldly possessions to walk 25,000 in the name of peace. She didn't want fame or fortune. She asked for neither.
When she walked for peace, it was with one purpose only, to meet and talk with others, and help them understand what peace would mean to them, and the world.
This truly was a task of love. Maybe at times it was a difficult road to travel, but that didn't stop Peace Pilgrim from spreading the word. She fought for her beliefs, and never gave up.
.
That's a lesson to be learned. To believe in something, and to fight for it, regardless of what obstacles that stand in the way.
Peace Pilgrim, at one time had everything she needed, and gave it all up to walk 25,000 miles in the name of peace.
I admire her for her strength, her ambition, and her passion.
And whenever I feel like giving up, or just want to pack it in, because of the obstacles that stand in my way, I'm reminded of what Peace Pilgrim did, and what she fought for, and this helps me to get back on track again.
So Peace Pilgrim, you will always be FOREVER YOUNG
