While all that is said above I know, as well as the paintung by Ellis Wilson, I will look at it again with richer insight. This piece, especially, reminds me of the purpose and power of art.

You so dramatically and elegantly journeyed us through a slice of your life experience. This not keeps our collective memories alive but it also memorializes our culture. Well done. Thank you!

This article touched my heart. A week ago we buried our 41 year old nephew who died from the COVID19 virus. We walked in that silent procession into the sanctuary. Yes I think we have the rituals stamped in our DNA.
