Hi, All,
I’m not going to be able to extend these diaries over as long a time as I had planned, though that doesn’t mean we can’t all continue the conversation in other ways, or later. But for now, I’m going to give you a quickie list of “the “fours'” from Peace Pilgrim’s pamphlet. What you will read in cursory form below is what it took her fifteen years to do. If you want to read about them in more detail, there’s a website link below. I will be happy to answer any questions about them, if I can.
One more thing I will do, I hope, is post a wrap-up diary where I’ll review what I set out to do with this series, and you can say what you got out of it, or not.
In the meantime, thanks, and. . .Peace. 🙂
