We invite you to read our blog and the essay following it by Buddhist teacher, author, and peace activist Stephen Fulder. It offers compassion and wisdom for these challenging times from his decades of experience. We deeply appreciate the motivation and energy we find in his words and trust they will be of benefit to many.

At this time of great possibility for change, we renew our dedication to bringing diverse voices and visions to our magazine. Black Lives Matter to Leaping Clear. We are a small group of people with both meditation and artistic practices. Our decades of practice have heartened us and humbled us. We know that no one person, no one group has all the answers. Questioning our own assumptions and habits and listening to others with open minds and hearts, we continue to explore how to celebrate and respect different visions. Diversity is the heart and soul of art and creative action. We renew our commitments to openness and looking deeply within and without, as editors and in our daily lives.
