“Earthsong"
by Rob Schouten

Our cover this issue is a detail of a painting by artist Rob Schouten, who paints realistic images with a sense of mystery and magic. Says Schouten of his work, "My paintings reveal the deeper reality underlying our common experience and are inspired by a transformative vision of the Earth. I think it is important to use beauty as a vehicle into people's hearts because ultimately I find the world to be a place of harmonious beauty more than a place of suffering."
