Monuments

What do our monuments say about us? The things we put in stone that will outlive all of us. Time capsules made out of granite that capture a feeling or belief during a specific moment in time. I wonder what people will say or think about us. How do we weight the 9/11 memorial next to the HP Garage? The Oklahoma City Memorial next to Telsa’s statue overlooking Niagara Falls.

I often wonder with our tributes, anniversaries and monuments if we are pausing to remember and reflect on things that will lead us into a more promising future.
