(Editor's
Note: Being lazy and preferring many of my early posts over many of my recent
posts, I have pulled two from 2009 and running them once again. This photograph
is from 2004 when I was younger and taking my own advice seriously .... and which, if you
continue to read, is the message I continue "to preach" verbatim to what it was when published in March 2009.)
Roam
the earth & see the beauty ....
It
seems to me that a primary advantage to residency on the European side of the
Atlantic Ocean is being much nearer to centuries of art and architecture. So
much is there to appreciate. Spending a few moments within St. Peter's Basilica
standing before Michelangelo's 15th Century marble "Pieta" is a
reminder that while years pass by, there is some beauty which may resist change
until the end of time.
I
sort of like this photograph, even though the technical quality is rather
dismal. The photo might also be a reminder for us to roam the earth while there
still is earth to roam, and while we are fully alive to enjoy it. Our days are
numbered, and neither god nor man will keep us young or safe forever.
