Big Thief - Two Hands
Sister Peggy O’Neil has lived in El Salvador for the past 35 years, having moved there to be of service to the poor during their devastating 12-year civil war. We stayed with Peggy at the “Centro Arte para la Paz” (Center for Art through Peace) where we talked about her life as a friend of the poor, a feminist role model, a shoulder to lean on, and an absolute hero of human solidarity. We are so fortunate to be able to bring you this incredible story, told by the youngest 81-year old we know!

He has written over 40 books on subjects ranging from health and stretching to he ephemeral charm of driftwood structures on the Pacific Coast. We talked about his work as a builder, and as an editor of the “Whole Earth Catalogue”, living healthy, and the life-force giving capacity of working with your hands. At 85 years old, Lloyd has more energy, enthusiasm and spark than most people I know! It is with great pleasure that we bring you this conversation with a true treasure of a human being. Share, enjoy, and buy a book!
