Poo-tee-weet: A Svithe for Michigan

.

Although I was startled to learn this morning that President Nelson had died, it feels a little selfish or absurd or foolish to feed “sad” that a 101-year-old who lived his best timeline has died. “Celebration” feels like a more appropriate response.

But then, having those feelings circulating in my heart, to learn about the shooting at an LDS chapel in Michigan—multiple casualties, building on fire, no further details (there are some now; none good)—metamorphosed them into something else entirely.

But there is nothing sensible to say after a massacre. So instead, I thought I would share art from the Latter-day Saint sculptor Franz M. Johansen.
