The things we light

27 05 2024

In the late light of day, the ridge below Filly Peak was shadowed, but the (poor dead) pinon or juniper tree was lit like a flame. It made the perfect complement for highlighted Rowan as she looked back to check in with her band mates.

It’s also perhaps a fitting image as we think about Memorial Day and the reasons we remember the sacrifice of American men and women who died while wearing the uniforms of various branches of the United States military. In honoring their service and ultimate sacrifice, we are hopefully unified as over not much else these days. And we can honor their commitment to their country, their families and the peace most of us enjoy every day.

What a beautiful and fitting photo for this Memorial Day, TJ. We should all remember with reverence those who gave their lives for us, our country, and our freedom. May we truly honor their indescrible sacrifice in the values we hold and the lives that we live.
