Alaa M. Malfouz has offered to us her coloring book with the hope of giving us time and space
to ease the burden of our grief by meditating on wise words while coloring our world with
bright colors to replace the darkness that so often invades our very souls. This simple but
pivotal book says we will not give in to grief, but we will color our world anew as we
approximate the beauty and tranquility of the original creation. And maybe, just maybe, if
enough of us undertake this form of meditation, we can bring about the change we want to see
in our world.
