“Look into your own heart, discover what it is that gives you pain and then refuse, under any circumstance whatsoever, to inflict that pain on anybody else.” ~ Karen Armstrong

Art and life lessons with my 7 year old Kameron who is also an artist. She talked about a bully in class (who has since transferred) whom she still played with even when the kid kept teasing all of them. She was trying to understand her classmate as best as she can.

I told her to be gentle and kind to people she meets, for we do not know what they’re going through. I drew this for her to remember as she grows up.
