The Peace Walkers - Lynn Harrison

Описание: Along with so many others, I've been cheered and strengthened by the Buddhist Monks' Walk for Peace which began on October 26, 2025 and reached its destination of Washington D.C. on February 11th, 2026. Even though their walk is ending, we're invited to continue practicing mindfulness, peace and compassion in everything we do (including songwriting!) step by step and breath by breath.

I have followed the Peace Walkers
as they've traveled 'cross the plains
over bridges, fields and borders
in these days of ICE and rain
As I watch them moving mindful
in their brilliant orange robes
loving-kindness, sure and simple
shines more brightly than the snow.

I was scrolling through the shadows
of a darkening winter night
when I stumbled on the walkers
in their line of radiant light.
I clicked "follow" the Peace Walkers
their beloved dog as well
joining seekers and sleepwalkers
listening for a distant bell.

I've been fearful of the future
and regretful of the past
now I'm grateful for the teachers
who so bravely bring me back
to the refuge of the moment
to the rhythm of the breath
in this moment now unfolding
may we know we're truly blessed.

We have followed the Peace Walkers
from Fort Worth up to D.C.
Yet their journey carries onward
as it lives in you and me
There will be no need to wander
when I'm with them in my way
as I rise again to whisper
"This will be my peaceful day"
