To create beauty, we must give love freely – even when it hurts. Love is the paint on the artist canvas and canvas is life. I don’t understand this life, but I do understand art, so for now I will do what I feel I came here to do, and maybe, one day it will all become clear… Keep loving one another – it’s the most creative expression of all. The root of joy is gratefulness. It is not joy that makes us grateful. It is gratitude that makes us joyful.
-David Steindl-Rast
My homage to the 14 fallen Saints of New Orleans on New Year’s Day. 14 crystals commemorate each person who lost their lives that day. Keep loving, keep hopeful and never give up. 🩷
