Smith Brothers Market, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Main street, Pleasant Grove, Utah. The old Smith Brothers Market undergoing renovation. Only now a shadow of the vibrancy and interest it once contained. The carcass of progress. What is the price we pay for ignoring what this place used to mean?

Reflection

I like reflections, both literal and figurative ones. The process of stopping to think about our world and the place we fill within it is a function of understanding what is real. Separating who we really are from who we think we are begins with reflection. Once we get past ourselves we can extend this reflection to our families, communities, and nations. There has never been a moment in history when reflection has been as important as now. We must examine ourselves individually first. What is the role you fill in the world? What is your reality? How do you feel about it?

Or, maybe, you just want to play basketball.

Find a comfortable fire burning and you’ll find me humans warming themselves near it. Humans have had a long and complicated history with fire. Fire was our first tool. One of the most destructive, and one of the most useful.
