As Perry Garfinkel found, walking (and even stumbling) in Gandhi\u2019s footsteps can reveal how we each have a role to play in creating a more compassionate, peaceful world. \u201cBeing Gandhi is unattainable,\u201d Garfinkel observes. \u201cBut becoming more Gandhi-like will continue to engage me as long as I live.
