Athens spills out from the Acropolis in all its liveliness and chaos, while the Parthenon stands ancient, sturdy and still above it all.
••
On the road, and especially in places like Greece and Egypt, it’s impossible not to notice the marks of history all around us.
••
It’s humbling and beautiful to realize we always stand in the legacies, the creations, the ruins, the reinventions of cities and communities and civilizations come and gone a hundred times. We stand on roads that have been paved before us, and in our lifetimes continue to pave the road in our own small ways for those that come after.
••
Especially in unsteady times, stop and take a moment to truly look at where we are in the grand scale of human existence, and towards where we want to keep moving.
••
What legacy will we leave behind?
