The Story About Our Support for WalkforPeace.USA
WalkforPeace.love is a shared space created to support the monks who are walking in dedication to peace. You can learn more about their journey at WalkforPeace.USA .
Whether you are physically present or far away, this space allows you to walk alongside them virtually and in spirit.
By logging your miles, you contribute to a collective total that reflects shared intention, presence, and solidarity. Participation can be quiet and private — nothing is shown publicly unless you choose to opt in.
The journey distance
The goal on this site is 2,300 miles — a simple way to reflect the scale of the monks’ walk from Texas to Washington, D.C. It gives us a shared reference point, so our individual walks can add up into something visible, collective, and real.
Where this came from
The idea for this space started with a simple desire to be there in person. To drive down, to stand beside the monks, walk with them, show how important we think this is, support them and to acknowledge the courage and commitment it takes to do something like this.
As I listened to others, I realized I wasn’t alone in how I felt. Friends, family, and colleagues shared the same sense of admiration and care, the same desire to support what the monks were doing. There was a quiet but clear feeling that this mattered, and that it mattered to many of us.
What followed was a moment of genuine excitement. The realization that maybe there was a way to bring us together around this, without drastically changing our lives and schedules, but by creating something simple that allowed us to participate in our own way and creating something that could turn shared intention into shared action.
With busy lives and full schedules, gathering everyone together felt overwhelming. So instead, I chose something simpler. Each of us could walk when we could, as part of the walking routines we already have, and shift the reason why we walk.
Instead of walking only for ourselves, we walk for them and then share that here.
The monks show us that the seemingly impossible is possible. This is our way of acknowledging that we hear their message and changed our awareness and see that anything really is possible.
Together, we can influence how we treat one another, because we are connected.
This site is not a fundraiser. No donations are requested or collected here. It exists simply as a way to walk in support, to make that support visible, and to reflect a shared commitment to peace.
