I’m going to keep this really short and merely say that it seems like a good week to post some art from naturalist Jane Goodall’s A Prayer for World Peace, which Minedition released this month. The illustrations from Iranian artist Feeroozeh Golmohammadi are captivating. Goodall’s text is a plea for us all to, with humility, “shun dogma,” “become ever more filled with generosity of spirit and true compassion,” remember the refugees forced from their homes, end cruelty, take care of our planet and its animals, “learn to take nothing for granted in this life,” and much more.
Let’s just let the art do the talking. There’s more of it below.
to change the world.”

What an inspiring post and such stunning artwork. Yes, you’re right, the art itself really does speak volumes. Is it possible to have email updates from your blog somehow? Thanks, Rebecca
Rebecca, I honestly don’t know how that works. My husband fixed the RSS feed recently. Maybe that will work? Let me know if it doesn’t.
