They started in Fort Worth. It's right there on Rosedale. It's not in a great part of town. One could reasonably say that it's a rundown and sketchy part of Funkytown. I haven't heard how they were inspired to begin the journey to DC from FW, but they are going 2300 miles one step at a time. It's not without cost.

"On Nov. 19 in Liberty County, a driver in a white pickup truck did not stop fast enough to avoid a pilot car traveling alongside the monks, according to Dayton Interim Police Chief Shane Burleigh. The pickup struck the pilot car, which then hit two of the monks, including Bhante.

The monks are part of a team planning to walk more than 2,000 miles over the course of 110 days through 10 states for what is called their “Walk for Peace.” They began journeying from Fort Worth on Oct. 26 and made a stop in Houston in mid-November."

The monks were walking through Dayton, Texas, last month when a traffic collision hospitalized two, including Bhante Dam Phommasan. The Walk for Peace confirmed he had surgery to remove the leg on Wed

That reel at the top is from Peachtree Georgia. They prayed at the Edmund Pettus bridge. They are being met with large crowds welcoming them to town.

It makes my hard, cold, cynical soul feel something. Maybe it's hope. I don't know. But, I can't deny that they are finding a warmer welcome than I ever thought possible.

I tried to find @Pancho 's thread of good stuff happening but it's buried somewhere. This will have to do.

Odds that the accident was deliberate are greater than zero.

Liberty County? Dayton?

Surprised the dude didn't hit him and then roll coal as he left the scene of the crime.
