Photo of Statue from Downtown Montreal, Canada (from canada.com)

During our honeymoon in Montreal, we stopped at a statue depicting a crowd of people with varying looks,
expressions, and actions. When you looked at the front of the crowd you saw an expectant, excited look on the people’s faces, as if they were rejoicing over some coming light. As the group moved towards the back interested and excitement waned. By the time you got to the back of the group, complete chaos has erupted as the effects of the coming light are no longer felt.

I’m think that’s a great picture of our world today (and actually yesterday too). Some of us have seen the light, and we are being affected by it. But others are not and they are living their lives without experiencing the light, and the powerful life changing impact it can have on us.

I noticed that in the statue the artist did not depict many people helping someone else see the light. There was one parent holding his child on his shoulders but most of the characters in the statue were looking out for they’re own good, and I’m afraid that too often that is what I do too.
