Focal Points
Artful Practices that Bring More Peace
Roxanne and I have created a series of collaborative watercolor paintings and lyrical stories that we hope to publish. In this series, Roxanne paints a lovely watercolor painting and I write a Haiku and a related meditation. Together, we hope these works will convey a set of practices that will help to release more peace into the world. And God knows, the world needs more peace!
