Buddhist monks walking across America to spread peace and compassion stopped by a Baptist church in Gallion, Alabama. This was one of their rest stops along the 120-day journey. The monks were on day 53 of their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. On December 17, 2025, Pastor La'Whaymon White welcomed them with open arms at Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church.

Pastor White called them "the Peace Walkers." The monks prayed, talked about breathing and mindfulness, and meditated with the church. The Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, the group's spiritual leader, led a loving-kindness and forgiveness guided meditation. He said, "It's time to let go of everything to live in harmony and unity, and to love everyone as our own brothers and sisters.”

Before the monks left the church, they gave everyone a "blessing string" and tied it around their wrists. It was a gift to help them remember to practice mindfulness, peace, loving-kindness, and compassion.

We are never taught to limit ourselves to just one friend or to have only one child, yet when it comes to romantic relationships, society insists that we must choose only one partner at a time. That never made sense to me. And the reality is, this rigid structure doesn’t even function as intended—we see proof of this everywhere, from high infidelity rates to soaring divorce rates.

Monogamy isn’t the default because it’s inherently superior; it’s a social construct designed to control women’s sexuality. A society that allows women the freedom to love as they choose is a society that challenges the foundations of property ownership and wealth hoarding. The enforcement of monogamy has always been about maintaining patriarchal and economic control—not about love, connection, or stability.

I refuse to let capitalism dictate how I love. My heart will connect with whomever it desires, without arbitrary restraints. There is no justifiable reason to limit love—it is one of the most beautiful and expansive parts of being human. That’s why I am polyamorous.

For many of us, 2025 felt like the world — and often our lives — were on fire. 🔥

As we enter a new year, we hold this truth from Sara Eileen LaWall - that from fear, doubt, and hate, we rise with courage, hope, wonder, and love. 💛✨

Out of the flames, we rise and meet 2026 together. 🌅✨
