I think this is the real gift of the Pilgrimage: that we who attended returned with a sense that there are others out there doing what we are doing and that together, even in our different places on the planet, even from our different faith's perspectives, we are ONE in our intention to live in, create, activate and manifest WORLD PEACE."
