Something to do with the bluish color, and the spacing of the people, the angles they are sitting at. Everything relaxed and cool, but the perspective takes the eyes ahead: into the 'background', which is ahead ...Professor Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909063513731044826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1156351779449830362006-08-23T12:49:00.000-04:002006-08-23T12:49:00.000-04:00sumeeta-Wow!

I kept thinking did my people build that building, too. Children here do not have to go to library to learn about America history. All they have to do is watch out their doors, and walk on Maryland, Pennsylvania, Constitution, and Independence and marvel at the monument of the greatest of its founders. <BR/><BR/>However, absence are the huge statutes of our African-American heroes. I passed a mother and son, and the mother commented to the son, John Brown was one insane man. The son, replied why do you say that, he tried to free the slaves? My back turned to the both of them as I chuckled to myself, it depends on who is telling the story, and I know that mother was not to happy with her son challenging her telling of history.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you.credohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737116243306045307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1156283316211285412006-08-22T17:48:00.000-04:002006-08-22T17:48:00.000-04:00Hey Stephen,I'm finally trying to get back into th...Hey Stephen,<BR/><BR/>I'm finally trying to get back into the swing of things.

Sounds like a fun time.<BR/><BR/>I like what you write about the power of words - particularly action words. Writers, poets and educators, like yourself, would be lost without them.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I, like others, was moved by your experience at the plantation. I'm sure your wife is glad to have been there with you as you felt the weight of the past.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing.Another Conflict Theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611335993936210835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1156225584123011982006-08-22T01:46:00.000-04:002006-08-22T01:46:00.000-04:00BUT - WAS THERE FOOD???!!!???

Every day, during my stay here, I am amazed by the beauty of the area.

This is something that I'm in the process of doing now, and it feels great, but it is a process!!<BR/><BR/>Second, I've been cruising on the Potomac River before!! Not on the Odyssey. I cruised on the Spirit of Washington. It was a beautiful experience and I look forward to doing that again. <BR/><BR/>Glad you and your family had fun!!
