Look - this time calls for bravery we gotta speak up.

Conversion is not just personal. It’s generational. If old white women helped normalize the system, old white women can disrupt it. And we happen to know a few. #HolyTrouble #OldWhiteWomen

Waiting for Peace

Waiting for Peace captures a quiet moment of collective anticipation. A family stands among neighbors on a sun‑washed street, each person holding flowers that glow warm and orange like the robes. That color becomes the emotional anchor of this piece—soft, hopeful, and gently radiant against the calm of the morning.

I was drawn to the stillness of this image, before the monks arrive, the way a community can gather quietly, simply sharing breath and intention. They figures are still ; they’re in a kind of listening posture, offering their presence as much as their flowers. In that pause, the street feels transformed—less like a place of passage and more like a threshold.

This painting isn’t about the procession itself. It’s about the moment just before it, when peace is something we prepare and hope for with our hands, our attention, and our willingness to stand together. The family’s quiet devotion, the warmth of the petals, and the gentle hush of the crowd all hold that truth.

Keep up the heat.

No acknowledgement of these survivors. She could have said, I’m sorry for what you have gone through. She could have said I’m sorry all of your personal information was revealed. But no. Nothing.
