The past three weeks or so for me have involved quite a few reminders of "life and death" - either because of recent happenings, or related to anniversaries, or just one memory stirring another... The other day my fluttering thoughts led me to turn to the Bing Image Creator and ask for some stained glass windows - like in a church or chapel. I named certain things that I wanted included (like cross, sunset, leaves and flowers, birds and butterflies); and I actually love all four of the designs that AI came up with on this theme. So I just want to share those with you - with some quotes picked from Goodreads.
“Where there is sorrow, there is holy ground.”

“I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
Verse XXVII
― In Memoriam

“I thought I could describe a state;
make a map of sorrow.
Sorrow, however, turns out to be
not a state but a process.”
― A Grief Observed

“Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
― The Return of the King
