Bringing us together through Art, Poetry and Meditations.
Hello!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Just like you, I am Peace, Light and Love.
The names my parents gave me are Andrew (from Greek “Andros” which means manly) and Randolph from German meaning shield wolf. They say one’s names define one’s mission in life, so perhaps I was meant to be a virile shield wolf or by extension, some all-powerful male protector. Yet, on the surface, my identity does not seem to match that description unless we redefine manly and shield wolf.
The truth is that since my adolescence I have rejected the constraints of toxic masculinity and I am more at ease seeing myself as an androgynous and egalitarian pacifist. My real strength is in my capacity to adapt and to maintain balance in my life. My own mission is to contribute in creating peace and harmony in my environment and in the world.
I think my names are sophisticated and sexy, but I won’t respond to Randy Andy. 😆 However, you may refer to me by the pronouns he / him / we / us.
I consider myself blessed to be of mixed heritage with European, African, Chinese and Amerindian roots. Presently, I live on Mohawk ancestral territory also known as the Montreal Metropolitan region.

I had noticed an announce online for a Group Meditation for World Peace at the unique and beautiful Palais des Congrès de…
La paix dont je rêve…
La paix dont je rêve est une rencontre avec soi-même.
The peace of which I dream is an encounter with oneself.
Chaos and Hope
These two paintings, one on canvas and the other, digital, are from the same spirit. Both represent Chaos and Hope as converging realities where the endgame in the resolution of conflict is always positive and beneficial.
Nonviolence: a Path to Survival, Peace and Unity
I originally published this article on nonviolence many years ago on Facebook Notes. It was subsequently republished by Joanna Haynes on her website Caribbean Inspired …Globally Wired, under the section Men and their Stories. I think it is appropriate and necessary to publish it anew here on my “Peace Blog” given the palpable disquiet over…
