Scheme of Things




There are moments where we are suddenly snapped to the realization that we are small in the scheme of things, and no matter how massive we are in our own world… overall it’s not that much. I got this when I saw this couple staring at the barges along the Mississippi River in Vicksburg, MS… The size of the river, and the boats, set against the couple in a loving almost futile embrace of protection against the evils of the world, inspired the above thought.

Brilliant, Grant. How small and insignificant we are! I've wondered where you were. Are you well? Greetings Jo

Nice monochrome. Is that a river boat in the background?

BTW, thank you for the postcard. It's nice to get 'real' mail.
