OCCUPY THE LANDSCAPE: MAY 26, 2012
A 22-MILE WALK
ROUTE: WOODSTOCK TO SAUGERTIES TO CATSKILL, NY
Walk for Human Rights and Social & Economic Justice

On May 26, 2012 people gathered on a path to walk 22 miles from Woodstock through Saugerties to Catskill, NY carrying a collection of Human Rights.

The first mile marker suggested, in the words of Dorothy Day, that "the greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart..."

We dedicate this slideshow to all those that walked and to all those for whom we walked. It was a profound, collective public action, a call for the recognition of universal Human Rights. Whether walking one mile or 22 miles, every step we took together counts.

At the end of the day Adrienne Rich's poignant words "It will take all your heart, it will take all your breath. It will be short, it will not be simple" remind us that all living species are on a similar path.

May we Reclaim The Heart for each and every one of us.

"It takes some strength of soul—and not just individual strength, but collective understanding—to resist this void, this non-being, into which you are thrust, and to stand up, demanding to be seen and heard" - Adrienne Rich
