PEACE
Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
14th Dalai Lama
The sunflower painting above has been sitting in my studio for quite awhile now waiting for a coat of varnish. It is still waiting. Just as the world is still waiting for so-called leaders to recognize that the path they have chosen for the world's inhabitants is not leading to peace but rather destruction. The beautiful sunflower standing in a field reaching for freedom to soak up the gentle rain of an afternoon thunderstorm and the warm, embracing sun that follows is the Ukraine's national flower. What a sad time it is as the whole world watches the ruin and heartache spreading across the country.
