“Work is love made visible.”
~ Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
This quote from The Prophet comes to mind whenever I think of this inspiring project. From the beginning, we all stepped back and allowed Love to lead the way. Through our connection, collaboration, and deep commitment to listening with the heart, Chip the Monk has made our love visible. I am grateful for the powerful part each person has played, and will continue to play, as Chip the Monk’s journey continues to unfold.
In Gratitude,
Suzanne

Rita Chance is on the Board of Directors for the Chip the Monk Foundation and helps in countless ways. Her joy-filled presence is felt throughout the entire project—we are indeed blessed by her steady love and generosity of spirit.
“Being the illustrator of this wonderful story fills me with gratitude since I feel that a loving and kind Presence chose me to portray it through shapes and colors. As they were coming out of my brush, the fantastic worlds and kind characters helped me stay in the Truth. This project started just when the pandemic began and nothing seemed stable in form, but focusing on the Truth helped me to choose love above fear. And every time I forgot, I had the Chip the Monk dream team holding space for me, just as the Harmony Animals did for Chip when he was frightened. Thank you, Chip, for choosing me to be your illustrator.”
