sometimes you have to wonder.
are we all just a bunch of random molecules floating around just bumping into one another?
or maybe, we are we put in the right place at the right time?
whichever you believe
one thing is for sure.
if we keep our eyes open long enough to the sky
we can appreciate the beauty of it all.
take my day in college station for example.
I was finishing up a shoot when I stumbled across
a moving vision of pride.
it was nor left or right.
neither red or blue.
just a moment to love what’s free in all her glory.
a texas version of the raising of the flag at iwa jima you might say.
maybe it was the bluebonnets in the air.
maybe it was the cadet uniforms.
maybe it was the sunset.
but I was caught in an unexpected awe.
The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets founded 1876.
an organization of serving and honoring
and a group of fine young men.
to think this moment exists every single day somewhere in the heart of texas.
breathtaking love of country
in a day of exhausting politics,
it’s simply the love of country and the blessings therein to appreciate
the beauty in the freedom to do so.
