Free download Walk for Peace zine

Double page book spread with dark, starry background and a drawing of a buddhist monk.
You can download two pdfs and make your own Walk for Peace zine. There are instructions to make the zine linked to the page with the pdfs.

Between November 2025 and February 12, 2026, a group of 19 monks walked from their monastery in Fort Worth, Texas to Washington D. C. They were led by Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara and their rescue dog, Aloka the Peace Dog. I watched a lot of their progress on social media. It was moving to see people standing on the side of the road, offering fruit and flowers. Some were crying, some bowed to show respect. The monk's selfless gesture was so heartwarming. This is a collaboration I did with Marti Haykin. She did the beautiful monk drawings, I added the backgrounds. I wish you all peace and awareness. It is so amazing that we are here at all, living in the world, which is sometimes horrible, but also sometimes beautiful.
