Remembrance Day, November 11, 2006 - Part 2:
The picture below was taken at our cottage at Manitou Beach. I had never really paid attention before to the particular image. Our cottage has had some renovations but this one bedroom remained about the same. I love the old pictures glued on the walls and the natural wood.

This particular image struck me because of what looked like twin towers. The angel on top was significant to me. The people in their emotion and pain touched me also. The painting is actually of the Canadian Vimy Ridge war memorial.

My apologies for not recalling the name of the artist. I tried to research but without success. The clipping was from the Toronto sun.

"Lest we forget."

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
