I love the way these canoes literally lean on each other for support on this beautiful lake, in New Jersey. I came across this scene while surprising my cousin Barbara, Aunt Lois and Auntie Betsy while they were on an incredible journey "Trails For Dale," which I encourage everyone to read/learn about through Barbara's blog, TrailsForDale. blogspot.com. My mom and I walked down to the lake at the campsite where they were spending the night, and I saw these canoes and snapped the shot which evinced for me such an apt metaphor: we all have to lean on each other and lend our support. No matter our circumstances in life, as human beings, we must learn to give and lend each other support.
Speaking of which, the lead stories on the news this very morning are of the destruction caused by Hurricane Ike and the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Whether people experience the loss of their physical assets, their homes, jobs, or loved ones, we must remember that we are all in this together, that everything we have can be taken away in a flash, and that we must do the best we can to help and support one another.
