A good day to remind myself how lucky I am to be alive and with my
family; to catch a bit of the spirit of service and selflessness that
guides Americans in uniform; to try to reach out every day and watch
someone’s back, lend a hand, help folks who really need it, and be
determined, resourceful about it; remember that peace comes with
justice, and I want to work toward a just world as well as a world
where service members won’t have to risk their lives; and recall that
in the end I’m not doing it for the gratitude, but for the pure joy and
challenge of it.
Wanted to share these photos from a cemetery in Ohio, where my daughter is just graduating from college. I like the circling of these Civil War graves, as if the warriors were watching one another’s backs, defending themselves to the last.
