NutMag 8: Harmony
All you hear about these days are wars. Turn on the news or scroll through social media, and it's often the first thing that appears on your feed.
As a counterpoint to this, we'd like to hear your stories on harmony. What is true harmony? Is it when everyone agrees? Or is there space for conflict and disagreement within harmony? Is harmony an achievable goal? Or is it the aspiration of fools?
Show us your vision of harmony, whether it’s within yourself or on a worldly scale.
