Make Peace

30 Paintings in 30 Days, hosted by fabulous artist Leslie Saeta.

Day Twenty:  "Make Peace"

A little piece about peace. 

It looks so easy to come together and talk and listen and understand and love each other. But obviously it's not.

Inspired by the International Day of Peace that we are celebrating today.


Yes, the quote comes from Margaret Wise Brown's classic bedtime story "Goodnight Moon." Our whole family loved reading the book about this peaceful place, and how this little cell connects to the outside world via giant windows and through silent communication. I see the book as an invitation to walk through life with open eyes and with a peaceful mind. To be attentive to see the whole picture of a world that needs to calm down.
