“Crowns of Courage”

“Crowns of Courage” began just after a very troubling time for me and my family. We all process things in our own ways, and this piece really helped that processing take place for me.
To me, “Crowns of Courage” is a reminder that we are so, so small in the grand scheme of things. But in another way, I believe it is a reminder of how big we can become. Either way, we are in control, but only of ourselves.
What I have come away with after finishing this piece is that everyone has something in their life. They might be really struggling, they might be very proud, they could just be fine.. my point here is that we can only know what ourselves are thinking or feeling. Be considerate to others. Show some empathy. Just be kind.
