Kitty Reads Lit for Peace: Henry David Thoreau – Walden “Economy” plus The Next Peacelands

This episode features a brief reading from “Economy,” the opening section of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. In this short passage, Kitty offers a moment of Thoreau’s clear-eyed simplicity—his reminder that paying honest attention to how we live can be its own quiet liberation.

Kitty’ warms up her reporter voice for CTRL–AI–DISARM, the upcoming Peace Is Here series exploring truth, power, and the systems shaping our shared future.

The episode closes with The Next Peacelands, where Avis Kalfsbeek reads a real-time list of global warzones and major arms suppliers—an honest grounding in the world as it is, and an invitation to practice peace with intention.
