Walk for Peace, Digital painting, 2026, Laura Heilman
It was late November when I saw a video of the monks walking through Louisiana. Like many others, I burst into tears just from seeing them walking on the road. I didn’t know anything about what they were doing, but my heart did.
I followed them in spirit. I listened. I began to practice.
My heart opened and now I walk with them everyday.
To Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara I say, I will not leave you. We are as family.
