The monks marching for peace bring up our work in 1985. I worked for ProPeace who launched a 3,000-mile march for peace. When we went bankrupt, the march re-formed as The Great Peace March and continued marching to DC. Jeff Share’s photos and this film tell the story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGwC...

Merry Christmas everyone!
May your hearth be gladdened by the laughter of children,
By the kinship of clan,
By the wisdom of elders,
By the memory of souls passing,
By the joy of souls yet to be born.
Sun, moon, and stars to brighten the gathering,
Songs, smiles, and stories to share their delight.
