Doggie has an incredible home now :) LOVE the quote. Everything has to start somewhere, and it's usually with one small step in the right direction. I'll add my favourite quote from the one and only Nelson Mandela, who goes down as one of the greatest humans this world has known: "It always seems impossible, until it's done". Making things possible begins with one small step in the right direction. Not unlike the monks are showing us with their Walk for Peace. judy on "Monks Walking for Peace" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/monks-walking-for-peace#post-2402219 Sun, 04 Jan 2026 17:15:59 +0000 judy 2402219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's a touching quote from an instagram post made today by Walk for Peace USA that sums up their mission if anyone is interested   <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/walkforpeace.usa/">https://www.instagram.com/walkforpeace.usa/</a>  "Some people may doubt that our walk can bring peace to the world—and we understand that doubt completely. But everything that has ever mattered began with something impossibly small. A single seed. A first mindful breath. A quiet decision to take one step, then another. Our walking itself cannot create peace. But when someone encounters us—whether by the roadside, online, or through a friend—when our message touches something deep within them, when it awakens the peace that has always lived quietly in their own heart—something sacred begins to unfold. That person carries something forward they didn’t have before, or perhaps something they had forgotten was there. They become more mindful in their daily life—more present with each breath, more aware of each moment. They speak a little more gently to their child. They listen more patiently to their partner. They extend kindness to a stranger who needed it desperately. And that stranger, touched by unexpected compassion, carries it forward to someone else. And it continues—ripple by ripple, heart by heart, moment by moment—spreading outward in ways none of us will ever fully witness, creating more peace in the world than we could possibly measure. This is our contribution—not to force peace upon the world, but to help nurture it, one awakened heart at a time. Not the Walk for Peace alone can do this, but all of us together—everyone who has been walking with us in spirit, everyone who feels something stir within them when they encounter this journey, everyone who decides that cultivating peace within themselves matters. One step becomes two. Two become a thousand. A thousand become countless. And slowly, gently, persistently—not through grand gestures but through ten thousand small acts of love—we can help make the world more peaceful. This is our hope. This is our offering. This is why we walk. May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace." judy on "Monks Walking for Peace" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/monks-walking-for-peace#post-2402206 Sun, 04 Jan 2026 16:20:31 +0000 judy 2402206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div> "If more people were like dogs - the world would be a better place." </div><div></div><div></div><div>Angie, SO true!  Apparently he was a street dog that found the monks walking in India and joined them there, I've heard.</div> Angie on "Monks Walking for Peace" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/monks-walking-for-peace#post-2402204 Sun, 04 Jan 2026 15:43:36 +0000 Angie 2402204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Judy and Janet, their doggie is the leader of the pack.

Yes, I heard about these incredibly tenacious monks walking for peace, and yes it's okay to post it here in off topic. Their doggie is all kinds of awesome too!  judy on "Monks Walking for Peace" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/monks-walking-for-peace#post-2402028 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 23:34:07 +0000 judy 2402028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yesterday a video popped up randomly in my instagram feed about the nineteen Buddhist monks and their dog doing a Walk For Peace from Texas to Washington D.C.  Have you heard about this?  Watching it, I found myself unexpectedly moved to tears, not only touched by their commitment, but also the openhearted reception they are getting along the way.  They opened my heart too!  Their peace and stillness are so palpable.  I'll share the one from my instagram feed, but there are SO many videos everywhere.  (hope this is okay to share here...I know it's way off topic, but thought we could all use a little benign innocence of these monks) <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS6incFAFld/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ=">https://www.instagram.com/reel.....TIwNjQ2YQ=</a>=
