Love this! Thanks for being here. Here's another great Zinn quote: “To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.”

I am reminded of one of my favorite quotations from Gandalf: "Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not."

Hello! Thanks for asking. The photos were taken near Death Valley National Park and in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park, both in California. I've updated the captions with the locations.
