What a beautiful post, and what exceptional art you’re making! I so strongly agree that we should all be dancing, singing and creating purely as acts of celebration and thanks for our existence. So well said. Thank you.

Another wonderful essay. I had no idea trench art existed prior to reading this. It's so... wonderfully, passionately human to continue creating even in the face of total devastation.

Thank you! I hadn't known that trench art existed, either, before I took this trip through France, where we saw Paris, and also toured a bunch of World War 1 sites.

My uncle is a diehard stained glass artisan, had a show at his local library lately but has yet to come through with any of my (free) promised commissions! His work is awfully beautiful in the sunlight, regardless.
