"I realized that both [plowshares and pruning shears] are used in the process of regeneration, but they are not in themselves symbols of a bountiful harvest. Like gardening, 'learning war no more' is a daily practice requiring dedication and lots of trust that we are truly cultivating an environment for God’s peace to one day bloom." — from the artist statement for “War No More" by Rev. Lisle Gwynn Garrity | @sanctifiedart
