Driving through the country, I started noticing things I don’t or haven’t seen in the population and land of California. For example, while driving in Oklahoma, I noticed what appeared to be a whisp of smoke on the horizon. What it ended up being was a gaggle of geese flying south for the winter…..so many, that from several miles away, it looked like smoke. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

A few other things of note:

  • billions and billions of stars (not drowned out by light pollution)
  • occasional wildlife (deer, coyote, hawks)
  • wide expanses of open, nothingness

Some man made things I saw that you normally don’t see as well:

  • a drive in movie theater
  • a caboose
  • one pump corner gas station

“We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever.

May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.”

Those words stand alone in this post. I will not dilute them with my experience. That will be saved for later. God bless all who were impacted that day.
