When Tibetan monks visited the San Francisco Zoo, they discovered that a rare tiger had been sick for two weeks; zoo keepers believed he was dying. The monks requested the administrator's permission to chant special pieces for healing.

As they chanted over a long period of time, the tiger went up to the area in front of the monks, sat and listened. That same day the tiger began to eat again and now, weeks later, appears to be eating and healthy. Is this true story so different from the healing that occurred when Bron began to paint? Artists are especially sensitive to personal inner needs for harmony, connection, and wholeness. In some different and sometimes unusual ways, our spirits respond like the tiger's spirit to creative efforts as a powerful source of healing.
