2010 Vision of Peace: Look Within

Description from artist regarding their vision of Peace:  Peace cannot be manufactured, fought for or imposed upon another.  Peace, in the truest sense, can only be cultivated by finding its source in the deepest, most eternal place within ourselves. 

In my drawing I hope to convey the sense that peace grows and evolves from the tiniest of seeds.  Beings who continually, actively surrender to the equanimity within themselves do not need to try to create peace, for they become peace; it will radiate naturally from their very cores.  Every act then carries the spark to inspire others to discover that same capacity within to find that unconditional acceptance that has a simple, innocent beauty.
