When I first accepted the invitation to join the 2,600km Walk for Peace pilgrimage through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia in 2027, the distance felt almost unimaginable. How do you prepare for a journey of that magnitude? One step at a time.
The goal is 2,600km of barefoot walking before my 51st birthday on October 23, 2026 — 500km by June, 1,000 by July, 1,600 by August, 2,200 by September, 2,600 by October 23. It will not be completed in a single heroic effort, but through thousands of ordinary steps taken consistently, mindfully, and with gratitude.
May every step awaken the heart. May every mile cultivate peace.
