Dawn After the Wreck by Joseph Mallord William Turner, circa 1841
We woke to tragic news of another mass murder in our country. An appropriate day for a heartbroken dog.

That is truly a mournful scene- the solitary animal with the body language of anguish, railing at the sea, at God, for taking away what was so precious. Turner is a master. The painting is 99% seascape, but what we feel is the the small animal and it’s deep grief.
My family lives in Denver. This is shockingly tragic. It is such a moment of knowing how capricious life, and death, can be. It could so easily have been my nephews at that theater. -
Beautifully put, Nancy. It is unbearable that this is happening again. But totally predictable.
What will it take for us to change?
