The Peace Pilgrim walked away. She left all off her stuff and walked. For thirty years she walked, walking until offered shelter; fasting until offered food. She never asked for anything. She only brought the clothes she was wearing, a comb, and her message: “This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.”
Her friends put together a website and a book: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words. At the website you can read most of the book online or ask that a hard copy be sent to you. There is an hour long documentary to download, interviews and a 2006 calendar to download.
The peace pilgrim pamphlet called the “The steps to inner peace� can be read at and is offered in 8 different languages on the web site, as well. You can also request a hard copy be sent to you.
