Flowers, Deepak and Peace Gardens
“Music is continuous. It is the listening that is intermittent...”
~ my paraphrase of a John Cage quote
The above Tibetan Mandala is a print by the Tibetan artist, Rabkar Wangchuk. It is called 'Flower Mandala' and can be bought from the TIBET HOUSE (click here).
If you look closely you will see that this lovely artwork is like a compass: North is white, East is Yellow, South is Red and West is Green......yellow denotes intellect and thinking and this is what the direction, East, represents and encourages..
The Tibetan mandala speaks to us of a greater reality. It illustrates the flow of all life radially outward from the center.. Flowers do this too. Flowers are Nature's Mandalas.
Coreopsis at Jim's by Jan Johnsen
You can be surrounded by Nature's mandalas if we choose - round, radial wheels that are colorful celebrations of Life and continuity...Flowers uplift our awareness and well being. Flowers remind us of the true nature of the world.

This flower talk, of course, brings us to the sage Deepak Chopra and peace summits.
In a recent Peace Summit in Newark, New Jersey (click here) that was sponsored by the Drew A. Katz Foundation, Deepak answered a question about peace that struck a chord:
Deepak Chopra
What changes do you think humanity needs to make to achieve lasting peace in the world?
DC: The only way lasting peace can occur is when we become the change we want to see in the world.
Peace can only be created by those who are peaceful. ....

Other thinkers and speakers addressed food, war, community, monetary policy regarding peace ...but no one discussed Creating Peaceful Environments as a way to Promote Peace.
If Peace can only be created by those who are peaceful then we should create Serenity Gardens aka Peace Gardens all over the globe....and now. Peaceful environments aid us in becoming aligned...
Peace can only be created by those who are peaceful. ....
