This week, I’m talking about the Walk for Peace — a 2,300‑mile journey led by Buddhist monks to spread a message of compassion and non‑violence. After attending their visiting hours in Lexington, SC, I was struck by the power of their message and the thousands of people who came out to support them. In this short episode, I reflect on what I loved, what I noticed, and the lingering thought that peace is a choice we make again and again.
