Even as cold weather and snow approach, the monks continue their Walk for Peace with steady determination and quiet resolve. As they move through North Carolina and prepare to journey onward into Virginia, their message remains unchanged: peace is not dependent on comfort or conditions. It is a commitment carried forward one step at a time. This walk was never meant to be easy. It was meant to inspire. Through chilly winds and uncertain forecasts, the monks press on, guided by purpose rather than convenience. Their presence on the road serves as a gentle reminder that peace is not something we wait for when circumstances improve, but something we practice even when challenges arise. Along the way, their hope is to spark reflection and encourage others to aspire toward peace in their own lives and communities. With calm hearts and focused minds, they continue forward, inviting everyone watching to consider how perseverance, compassion, and unity can move us closer to a more peaceful world.
