The experience of nature can be interpreted countless ways with endless attempted explanations. This indescribability makes profound moments within nature that much more individual and sometimes life-changing. For myself, I have been fortunate to work for land management agencies with the opportunity for these experiences on a daily basis.

it looks like he is coming out of the memorial because he never finished what he needed to do because he was killed before he could finish. Also he looks serious because he wasn’t playing when he wanted to help Blacks get their rights. It is white granite which shows hope. Also he has a scroll in his hand to represent his speeches.
