Exploring timeless themes of the purpose and value of human life, Joan Chittister reflects on John Swanson's art, Ecclesiastes. There is a Season shows how human fulfillment and true happiness come, not from getting, and having more and more, but from knowing and valuing that which we have. Friendship and laughter, patience and sorrow, humility and compassion--all these are God's gifts to us, the precious moments of life itself. The work of contemporary artist John August Swanson glows with light, with passion, and with hope. Chittister's words and Swanson's art together tell us: The season is now. The time is ours. Live!
