I recently received a note from Sister Mai, the Buddhist nun who came through Malibu two weeks ago and stayed during the rain before continuing on her peace walk and journey up the California coast.
She wrote, “It is people that I meet who help to inspire the walk — we can all do our part in the world to make it a better place. So, many thanks. ….
“The walk so far has been wonderful. Continue to meet all sorts of weird and kind folks — the only thing I can complain of is sore feet. I’m making sure to rest adequately this time — last year in France I tended to overdo it. The ocean makes for extremely powerful company — its presence undeniable. Some days it is calming and soothing, other days livening and inspirational. The simplicity of life itself and all its wonders never cease to amaze me. Every day continues to be a new challenge…
“Please send my love to Oscar and the guys [at the Labor Exchange] and a big kiss to Casper [the dog].”
The postmark was from Santa Barbara, where she is earning survival money by dog sitting.
