In our winter issue , we asked : What does “ harmony ” mean to you ? Where do you find or create harmony ?

Here are how some readers responded :

Sherry Heschuk Retired teacher , Edmonton

Sherry Heschuk took her students , whom she teaches remotely in Lyiv and Kyiv , Ukraine , to the Flying Canoë Volant festival as part of her volunteering for Smart Osvita . Sherry wrote a love poem to the water and watersheds in Ukraine . See the March ARTAfacts for the love poem Sherry wrote to the watersheds in Ukraine .

For me , Harmony is being able to feel one with the moment . I feel grateful that I discovered painting with alcohol ink as it allows me to create peaceful moments with that medium .

This face and the profiles around it just exude harmony ! A watercolour of these ancient Khmer face sculptures hangs on my wall , and feelings of harmony and joy overcome me when I look at it . This face signifies serenity which , in my vision , goes hand in hand with harmony .
