Every year on my birthday, I give a piece of my art to everyone to use for women, children and families. One year, a birthing center in Atlanta, Georgia printed my "Nursing Mothers' Circle" on tea mugs and doubled breastfeeding among their new mothers.
This year, the art, "One Love, One Heart," is inspired by the practice of compassion and forgiveness. The hands form a heart to symbolize that action and compassion are essential to forgiveness.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that Peace is not only the goal, it is also the way to achieve that goal. Hatred and violence lead only to a never-ending spiral of violence and destruction.
We can choose to forgive and to practice unconditional love and compassion to everyone everywhere. We are all related.
Peace Now Everwhere,
