The one thing that sticks with me…

After all is said and done with the DC trip, I am left with the
acceptance of the unknown in Lincoln's face in his Memorial; the tilt of his
jaw, the sincerity in his eyes... Like any successful work of Visual Art,
and although I am now five hours away from it, I can close my own eyes and
still see with clarity his expression of acceptance and vulnerability. I
imagine the texture of his voice when he said that, "a house divided
cannot stand." Although his death was 150 years ago, his hopes and
dreams are as alive as whoever find themselves standing in front of this statue
today. Now, how am I called to accept and not to judge in his
image?" ~ Will
