I like this picture for it captures an idea via a thought just from the seeing of it and with little or no effort too. It conveys many ideas and invites all to have an experience each one to themselves private or otherwise and it does this in a span of time that cannot be measured. There is nothing to say nor is it required but instead, a silent behold is upon you to do with as you will
BE STILL AND KNOW
To get to this icon which is atop Mt Rubidoux in Riverside CA requires a 3.5 mile hike up the side of a mountain well-traveled constantly every day for most of the day and evening too as there are beautiful city lights to see that are offered in a 360 degree view. Then, 3.5 miles down & back to your little world
COME ALL YOU WHO ARE HEAVY BURDENED AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
Many people make it their goal or ambition to visit with this "cross" as a destination or choice to travel to. Bear in mind that what takes place in the sojourners heart as they do so is different for all. Whatever is going on within a person comes out when they decide to climb this way. Peace & rest await all who do
OUR FLAG DOES THIS TOO
The message behind this is one that will live on for its simplicity and agreement and has nothing to do with religion but instead, similar to our flag, represents something so great that it exceeds all words and thoughts... greatness should do that you know...
FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Hope visits with one person while another considers love. Then there are those that contemplate the meaning and purpose of their own life and the life of others while some ponder the grandiosity of it all not with thinking mind you but with what the poets call the marrow of life
THE MESSAGE
It is interesting to note that this symbol or icon shows up all over the world, in different situations and places from mountaintops to valleys & from the lips of many to a simple necklace & it never takes issue with anyone but instead, stands for its own message, silently but steadfastly respecting all who pass
PONDERING & WONDERING
Life cannot be lived just by emblems, symbols and icons alone for there would be no one to give them meaning or purpose. Ah, but someone in their all-knowing wisdom took care of that. We do have something to interpret them all by...that be us better known as you & me
