woven flags represent
connection to all
fragile strength
and the importance of remaining open.

gently ringing chimes bring us back to the moment.

and thich nhat hanh reminds us:

'the miracle is not to walk on water. the miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.'

peace is a choice,
live it.

  1. I'm very moved by these. That particular tich nhat hanh quote I've adopted as my own daily reminder.

  2. MJ - as always your work weaves words, meaning and work. I love the open panels in the weave and the meaning behind them; and love the chimes that bring us back into the moment as in meditation. Peace to you always. B

  3. So very special and I am imagining myself there with them. Thank you once again for keeping this idea going despite all the travails of the year to date; and for continuing to help us all grow in and with peace.
