multiflag nation

Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 29 October 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

On Wednesday, October 17, the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of his efforts for peace, nonviolence, and universal acceptance. The next few photos will be of that event. Go here to start at the beginning.

As a lot of people have pointed out over the course of this series, there was a great display of cultures from everywhere. I really like how the United States and Tibetan flag were juxtaposed in this shot, really highlighting how we are made of people from every walk of life.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.
