When we draw or paint together, we enter a shared zone of wonder that transcends the false narratives we have been fed by institutions, media and popular culture.

        Then, something amazing happens: we link up.

        This realization has motivated me to sketch with others around the globe over the decades: in city streets, on boats, in factories, in barren fields and in random places.

      It is in these times, in this synergy, I reflect that Jesus said we should love one another. Can you imagine a world where this actually happened?

       First, we must be able to sit together. In our increasingly uncivil world, this in itself is a tall order.

      Seen in that light, I suspect that the sketchbook may prove to be one of the great peacemakers of all time.

       Hey. It's a start.
