No it isn’t Christmas, but aren’t these two ladies a riot. I mean standing back-to-back, disconnected and out of touch, on the edge of the reflecting pool, one facing east to the Lincoln Memorial and the other west to the WWII Memorial and the Washington Monument. I wonder if, when they got home, they asked each other what they saw.
While it is funny, isn’t it how we often communicate with each other? We try to explain things from an entirely different perspective. One sees Lincoln sitting in his chair overlooking the length of the pond while the other sees a nearly 600 foot obelisk towering above the mall, yet they both saw Washington.
I think it also describes how many different ways we see our Government today. So many people are standing back-to-back ignoring what the other person sees. Regardless of your political persuasion, whether you face left or right, our nation is so divided that it seems like it will never come together again. Does anyone there see what we see?
