A letter from the Editor

Dear Friends:
As we approach the second month of our great loss, I realize I am reminded daily how obstacles create triumph. Ticket takers now acknowledge passengers, cars let us pass, strangers smile, nurturing Moms cuddle more, protective Dads are visibly involved, and then there are those times we bark. Thank you God for all these reminders that kindness is the way for us to grow in our humanity and heal many a woe. I hope your interest in art is another way toward that healing for it is often said that the meditative quality of observing or participating in art is like prayer. Thank you for being with me in this form of prayer. It is a gift to serve you. God Bless. OM
