faith


...in our boys, and faith in beautiful girls. well, there's only 6 minutes left of easter sunday. i spent the day at rest. (and sleep) tomorrow i continue moving all my stuff, but tonight, i wanted to close out the holiday with a vision of what i call 'absolute good.' this is, of course, a shot of marilyn monroe entertaining the troops. she was no doubt a pale, angelic, curvaceous, smiling symbol of hope to the soldiers there that day. and i think i've heard it said that she thought of that tour as some of the best times of her short life. i heard it was very cold that day, wherever she was. i also love this shot because i don't think i've ever seen it before. and, if you look closely, you'll see in the distance, near the top right, on the horizon, a single, plain cross.
