Peace emerges

Sabbath Sky
"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
- Martin Luther King Jr.

The tree in this piece forms the letter shin with its branches, which in Hebrew is the first letter of the word SHALOM and can also symbolize the name of god. It emerges from the chaotic wilderness on earth and lifts toward a peaceful sky. A sky full of promise.

    beautiful, susie - both the painting and the sentiment. i love how the shin purrs subtly in the background, an enduring reminder of peace.
