Cohousing-L Mailing List: The Peace Walkers Are Coming

[Dave and Diane (daveanddee]

Hi all,

A group lead by some Buddhist monks are walking from Leverett  
Massachusetts to Washington D.C. We had them stay at JP Cohousing.  
They are a wonderful group of people and are walking for a very  
important cause. If you would like to host them, their travel route  
and dates are listed below. Sister Clare's telephone number is  
781-859-8694. If you need more details, call me or drop me a line. My  
phone number is below.

"In its eighth year, Walk for a New Spring begins its annual  
pilgrimage, walking a portion of our nation to reach out to connect  
with people in 7 states and Washington, DC, inviting people’s  
participation everywhere. In the unprecedented moment in which we  
live — clearly crying out for change — let us walk together, share  
our concerns and visions and create fellowship. With our individual  
and collective spirit let us support one another and bring our energy  
and fervent wishes to the newly-inaugurated President Barack Obama  
and the Congress.

As serious economic decline spreads and the terrible wars in Iraq and  
Afghanistan continue, let us use the great gift of this  
transformative moment to stand, with our whole being, for peace and  
rebuilding a healthy, humane economy. Let us continue forward with an  
awakened sense of hope and responsibility to make peace and well- 
being in our communities, in our country and in our world. Truly, it  
depends on all of us.

Please join us by walking for an hour, a day or for the entirety. You  
can support us by organizing a community potluck, a sharing circle, a  
visit to your Mayor, a place for our walkers to sleep, or coverage by  
the local media. Also, please keep this walk in your thoughts and  
prayers."
