REALly

The 1st shot brought the 2nd to mind.

There is a sadness in both photos that is inescapable.  Their respective resilience will be acknowledged and lauded.

However, As an observer of culture and lover of his BROTHERS, I am hard-pressed to ignore what I 

am seeing feeling because of these photos.

The overwhelming thing, I believe, is to remain unbothered.  

THEY GOT...THIS.  

That is what I am seeing...hoping...resolute about.

...stills me the same way that a ROTHKO does.  I am forced to consider ALL of the layers...intentional or otherwise.

Hmmm...
