Reflection

Thank you to all who expressed concern during the deadly insurrection that took place down the street from us yesterday. We’re OK, although Tim insisted on accompanying Sahraa and me to the park in the late afternoon, before the curfew went into effect, since the domestic terrorists that carried it out had planned to use our park as a staging ground the day before.

I’m simply at a loss for words to describe how I feel about what transpired here.

But in the meantime, this is detail from a mural by Rodrigo Pradel, originally from Chile, on the Metropolitan Branch Trail for the Pow! Wow! 2020 international mural festival.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Is this sedition? posted earlier:

Nice nural, but SAD happenings in your capital Helen. Hopefully better times will soon return.

I wonder what those who stormed the Capital saw when they looked in the mirror this morning?
