    logo_unityofsedonaSedona AZ (November 7, 2014) – Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder spent 15 years preparing for a journey that would not only change her life, but the lives of thousands of people she would meet over a 28-year span of walking the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. On January 1st 1953, at age 44, she put on a pair of canvas sneakers, donned dark blue slacks, blouse, and a tunic – on which she had sown her new name: Peace Pilgrim. On this day in 1953 she walked ahead of the Tournament of Roses parade to begin a trek of traveling more than 25,000 on foot on a personal pilgrimage for peace that would last the rest of her life.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
