I went to that amazing Rembrandt show in March of 2015. Spent about five hours there. That painting was hung right near the end.

A welcome reminder in increasingly crazy times that people can also be beautiful.

I love this. We should all be in front of a Rembrandt painting right now. We'd be better people, and maybe the world would become a better place.

This literally stopped me walking. So incredibly moving.
What a charity-amazing work all involved.

Absolutely amazing, but like everything, how do we fund so more people can likewise benefit? What's needed is a human mindset change about what life (including dying) actually means. #WhatDoesLifeMean #WhatsThePoint
