A Week of Loss

Ilinap · January 14, 2016 ·

It’s been a rough week for muggles and music fans. The planet has become a tish less cool of late, and not due to global warming.

The loss of David Bowie and Alan Rickman has us all staring at our screens, mouth agape. Their loss is proof that art of all kinds matters. We mourn in earnest for people we’ve never met. Such is the weight and value and significance of art. Creativity fuels our senses and emotions, and even those who claim to not be creative can still appreciate creativity. I would argue that every single one of us is indeed creative, but that’s another story…

As the world weeps for two lost souls, my own little world weeps too.

3 friends diagnosed with cancer

a father lost

a wife lost

This is not the sort of laundry list one expects in a week that’s just four days in.

A heartfelt bow to the people I love, actually. May God’s love be with you.
