"Overcome evil
with good, falsehood with truth, hatred with love" -- Peace Pilgrim |
|
Dear Friends of Peace Pilgrim The short days of winter have brought sleet and snow
to the rough hills of New England, rain to the fertile valleys of California,
and wind to the broad plains of Oklahoma. Our work continues in these
locations and in the many other places around the world where our dedicated
friends continue to share Peace Pilgrim’s message.
Remembering Kathy Miller Free to soar, Kathy Miller has graced our work and our lives with her strong and gentle spirit, her tireless service, and her inspiring songs. During the past year she has had a personal struggle with lung cancer, which she ap-proached with an amazing acceptance and peace. Family, friends, health care professionals, and hospice workers have been touched, inspired and captivated by her spirit. She made her departure in her decidedly “Kathy” way, quietly, her daughter by her side. Some Insights from Kathy During the last year of her life, Kathy was interviewed by Judy Jones about her music, her work with Friends of Peace Pilgrim and how her illness had impacted her life. A short excerpt follows. |
Peaceful Pathways: It was my great fortune in life to meet Peace Pilgrim when I was a young woman, and to come to know her as a beloved friend and mentor. It was my further good fortune to accompany her on the only two inspirational and educational retreats she led before her death. The first was to Alaska in 1979 where 18 of us started out from Anchorage, traveling in three rented cars. We camped out and cooked vegetarian meals over a campfire... Update from What has it been like to volunteer at the Friends of Peace Pilgrim Center? Board member Bruce Nichols posed this question to some of our Oklahoma City friends and asked them to write about their experiences during the last year of planning, preparation, and now working in our new office... Spirit of Peace Van Finds a New Home One of the tasks left unfinished when the rental truck
pulled out of Placerville bound for Oklahoma City was the disposition
of the “Spirit of Peace” Volkswagen Bus.
