I miss seeing Avon’s name following mine on our zoom daily meditative vigils … (A – for Anne, Avon).  As that connection  gave me comfort.  Only recently do I understand why. For besides the fact that Avon is the truest embodiment of peace in human form that I know – THERE’S MORE.  Avon was close ally of the Center for Visionary Leadership whose book “Spiritual Politics” was the inspiration that led me after 911 to various simultaneous “pathways to peace” nationally and internationally (Peace Alliance Department of Peace campaign, Global Movement for the Culture of Peace and UN NGO “Peace Through Unity”).  I have been a foot-solder in these 3 different but related organizations for many years. Yet only  now do I more deeply know and appreciate the profound synergy that Avon actually was the visionary, co-founder / co-creator of them all!  (The story of her help in our NGO’s founding is amazing!)  I know Avon’s pioneer peacebuilding spirit is continuing to forge ahead these (heartfelt) Pathways to Peace that we share.
