Reblog, Veteran’s Day 2014 – Let Us Remember Why
https://felipeadanlerma.com/2014/11/11/veterans-day-2014-let-us-remember-why/
I’ve added the info below, as my original 2014 Veteran’s Day post is quite short, though I did update it this week 😊

We know there have wars, in history and our lifetimes, that were just to profit a few; wars that lingered for much the same reason + maybe for one side or the other to keep power; and wars that to not fight would have meant the end of life as we knew it.
In our case, in America, that’s usually meant a greater sense of freedom of expression and peace of mind than most of the time in previous history.
But ultimately, the soldier – the individual woman or man holding a weapon or monitoring a computer screen or providing maintenance and support – it is the individual soldier without whom nothing much else would or could matter – whether profit or protection.
And it is to that reason we must carry forth to ensure our right to vote is both fair and universally accessible.
It is what we have fought for. The right to survive and determine our fate.
To the American solider – I thank you, and I salute you 🙏

Thanks so much everyone! Staying the course of freedom for our country is staying brave —
It’s the least we owe ourselves and our children and all others we love dearly 💕

Saturations of sky and earth roll and rest spin like a first slow dance in junior high – middle school the grandkids laugh and tell me they think I make all this up just to be funny 😊 - 1st Cabin Light Study 2 2025

I wasn’t sure when to stop but my own waves of self, conscious of the need to rest joined the earth before me, an image shaped by pigments from itself. - I was born at the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius and I’m Very Angry, but….
I now see a wonderful opportunity and challenge in creating series of captured memories from my photos, and exploring/mining them for what I both remember, feel, and discover new ❤️ - Learning via 3 Painting Stages on 3 Canvases via My Photo, 1st Cabin Light 2017
“After I post the final images of this 1st new painting experiment of mine, links and all, I can post about this new 2nd unexpected-to-me fun series of takes of another of my Vermont photos : Island Line Trail Sunset via Colchester Vertical 2018” - Follow-up blog post after my 1st blog post since August 2025 earlier this week – Definitely like starting new!
“The relinquishing of one’s art, my art, to myself, is sometimes more scary than gearing my productivity to outside expectations” - My 1st blog post since August this year (2025) – Like starting new!
“My plan, my hope, is to keep this, my original layin, produce a new 2nd similar layin but add a content color layin; keep it; then repeat the steps with the two formative layers and see what finished product I might produce – 3 works total”

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
