We're referring to a simple commitment to also noticing what's good in the world even as you navigate what's not. Whether you find these reminders burrowed in a news story, the feeling of being on your mat or out on a run, or the eyes of a loved one doesn't matter. Noticing them does."

The point is peace. Named the Walk for Peace, it aims to raise awareness around mindfulness, presence, and compassion."
