On my neighborhood walk this scene seemed to capture and somehow depicts that comfort can be found amidst, and despite, the decay and global chaos by which we are currently engulfed. Surrounded by death and disarray, the fountain dry, the man has his arm around the woman whose head is down.
We can comfort one another. We must.
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
