And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Man taking grandson on a hunt in the Altai Mountains of Central Asia
I agree, that is a great scene there, it makes you think about what it means to be family. On a visit to see my Parents long ago, I took my Son aside and told him that it was very likely that this was going to be the last time he saw his Grandfather. But he was in his mid-teens then and just had too many other things on his mind (and too many hormones no doubt) to try to really connect. My prediction turned out to be true and I know he regrets not getting to know my Dad better. I'm just happy that they had some really good times together when they were about the same relative age as depicted in this picture.
Humm. The kid looks Irish.
ReplyDeleteA remembrance of a Traveler passing through.

DeleteGrandma is concerned.

A culture where boys are taught to be men.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.

No car seat. No helmet. NO CELL PHONE! Just an eagle and a horse. It's going to be a great day.
