Again on living without money

When I read the article about Heidemarie Schwermer that I linked to in my previous post I thought to myself "now that's an example of someone that's Orthodox in spirit if not in name" and in searching for an english translation of her books I came across several mentions of someone called Peace Pilgrim who also lived without money or a permanent residence. Her book is online here, and from what I have read so far, only most of the first chapter, I get the same feeling about her as with Heidemarie Schwermer. The book says she spoke in many different churches, I wonder if she ever visited an Orthodox church? Both of these cases remind me also of a book I read once, "The Ascetic of Love: Mother Gavrilia" and how when she was living in India (also without money) she worked with many people who shared the same principles as her even though they weren't Christian.

All these stories are so inspiring to read, they've reminded me of my efforts to slowly get rid of material possesions that I don't need and my dream of living in voluntary simplicity.
