It's such a sobering, yet spiritual experience to be in a museum because these manuscripts, these books, these pieces of furniture aren't just artifacts, they're insight into who we were and where we come from. And maybe, in some instances, where we're going. Thanks for sharing that experience -- I would love to hear more about it! Sam: I love how you say "pictures bridge time and distance" -- a beautiful way of describing it and so very true. Pictures have an uncanny way of holding a memory, transporting us immediately to that experience, those familiar feelings. I think writing gives you that added insight, but maybe the picture provides the trigger. I hope that I can look back on this blog and remember where I was because by doing so, I can also see how much I've grown. The same with pictures -- you're a different person when you look at the picture. The idea behind that is just mind-blowing. Keep up with the photography! That's a gift in itself :) Tom: That sounds incredible, but then again, you had me at both “library” and “Dublin.” It’s such a sobering, yet spiritual experience to be in a museum because these manuscripts, these books, these pieces of furniture aren’t just artifacts, they’re insight into who we were and where we come from.

We will all be able to look back on our blogs when we're older and be reminded of our journey to that point. My boyfriend likes to joke about how I love to take pictures. Maybe I go a little overboard sometimes, but pictures are another way of freezing time. Pictures bridge time and distance, just like words.

It's this collection/museum of ancient religious texts. There were these lovingly detailed manuscripts, drawings, books, just...ancient stuff, with people trying to understand and explain the universe in a mystical way. Plus there's something cool about really old artifacts. :P I had a similar feeling when I went to the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin. It’s this collection/museum of ancient religious texts.
