Where do you find peace? Under a Japanese Maple

Francesca Murnan is a senior at Seattle University.
She finds peace under a Japanese maple on the northeastern side of Seattle University's campus.

How do you define peace?
Peace is a sense of well-being. It is a space where I can be alone, or comfortably let others into my space.

How does the tree conjure feelings of peace for you?
I go there at least once a week to feel centered. I like that it's a private space, but also outdoors. It is somewhere where I can be comfortable alone, or allow others to join me. When I am there alone, it is a totally different experience than when I am with other people.
