Farewell Chattanooga — Hello WORLD! … (08/30/2023)
My dear Friends, I once again have some GREAT NEWS to share – for I am once again about to set out on my next great Peace Pilgrimage! This will be the 6th such trek I undertake, and this one promises to be the most “radical” adventure yet – walking with “only the clothes on my back”, fasting until offered food, walking until offered shelter, and taking along neither personal ID nor rain-gear nor sleeping bag. As such, I probably won’t be regularly able to be contacted online for the next several months (if not years), and as such I thought I would do you all the service of answering a few of the most commonly asked Peace Pilgrim questions before I go …
01) WHY are you walking?
First of all, I will be living this way to literally Walk my Talk (fully embodying my message of radical kindness, consistent compassion, and joyful self-sacrifice) … Second, I will be walking the world’s byways to find & hopefully inspire the “1 in every 1000” of you, my fellow humans; those of you who are ready & willing to Join the Team (see my YouTube video that explains the importance of the same – linked below) … Third, through my actions more than my words, I will be walking to potentially get more folks to Go Vegan, for if we don’t soon collectively choose to stop murdering our innocent animal cousins, our own species will not last much longer on this planet (nor will we deserve to)!
02) WHEN are you leaving?
I will set out roughly week from today, during the very last days of August, 2023.
03) WHERE are you going?
This pilgrimage will have no set direction, no specific duration, and no planned destination. I will simply walk as long as Good Fruit is born thereof (i.e. as long as it seems my message of Peace & Kindness & Justice is getting through to folks), and will generally walk northwards when it is warm and southwards as the weather gets cooler.
04) HOW will you be walking?
As usual, I will be walking austerely – neither taking nor accepting any money along the way, carrying essentially only the “clothes on my back” (along with one small satchel for some toiletries and a change of undergarments), and never asking anyone for either food or shelter …
05) Where will you sleep and how will you bathe?
Unless freely offered shelter &/or a shower by a stranger, I will be walking until I get tired and then simply stopping to sleep wherever I happen to be – on a park bench, on a church porch, or if need be just off the side of the road. To keep clean, I will simply hand-wash my undergarments in whatever sink is handy each evening/morning (and then pin them to my satchel to air-dry while I walk) and use the paper towels in public restrooms to sponge bathe myself (usually in the more spacious – and often more hygienic – handicapped stalls found there) …
06) Will you be posting updates along the way?
For this particular Peace Walk, I will be intentionally providing very few updates along the way (After all, it’s not about “following along” while I walk – it’s about maybe being inspired by my walking to get out into your own community and joyfully sacrifice your own comfort &/or time &/or energy for others in need, right?). That said, if any of you wish to contact me for whatever reason while I am “On The Road”, know that I do intend to irregularly flow into the public libraries I happen upon during my little jaunt, and that I will fluidly respond to any and all of your correspondences as soon as circumstances allow … 😉
07) How can we contact you?
Facebook Messenger will no longer be a viable option for communicating with me (though my Facebook page will remain open as a public archive for you & yours; so feel free to head over and scroll through my wall &/or download &/or share any or all of the memes that have been saved to my Albums there). That aside, I will have two active email addresses for you to use to get in touch (I recommend using both, in case Gmail locks me out of my account like they did back in 2019 when I was walking through the middle of France). My standard Gmail address is rediscoveringpeace@gmail.com, and my newer Protonmail address is rediscoveringpeace99@protonmail.com …
08) How can I support The Walk?
First of all, you can spread the wordabout my Walk & my Work for Peace to all your family & friends & associates. Second, if you have the time & the means, you can download the pdfsof my Writings (link below), print hardcopies of the same, and pass them on to your children. Third, you can support the website and help it to continue to reach thousands of people worldwide by clicking on the relevant link in the footer of the site’s homepage (NOTE that not even a single penny of any funds donated in this manner will ever reach me directly or benefit me personally). Fourth, you can GoVegan (www.vegankit.com) and send me a message telling me that you’ve done the same. Fifth, you can Be Kind to at least one stranger today (and many days thereafter). Sixth, if you really want to make my day, you can go “All IN” andJoin the Team(my Youtube video explaining how to do so is linked below) …
I think that about covers it for now …
Know that I believe in each & every of you, my dear Friends, and that I will be out there Loving You, no matter where I happen to Be!
Scaughdt, out … Justice & Peace for ALL, in
“So bid me fond farewell, my dear Brothers and Sisters! I bow to you all in heartfelt gratitude and take my humble Departure. Here I give back the keys to my Home and relinquish all claims to any Possessions. I remember well that we were neighbors & friends for long and that I have received from you all just as much as I could ever Give. And now the day has dawned and the lamp that recently lit my small corner has gently faded. A Great Summons has come for me with this morning’s sunrise. I am fully ready for its Journey, and I resolutely set forth to boldly Walk its Way.” ~ via Rabindranath Tagore
