The National Cathedral is a cathedral and, well, national, and an odd jumble of the churchy and non-churchy. The guides emphasized that it was for all Americans. It was a surprise to find out that we’re all Episcopalian.
So we have a sculpture of a guy with a big ol’ rifle next to the votive candles, some poor design choices and acknowledgement that some of our history really sucked. I was pressed for time and, as my mother said, we had seen “better cathedrals” I got photo evidence and high-tailed it out of there.
This is the "not-churchy" part

This baby aye-aye is a miracle. He's worth remembering when you feel like you're sinking. One of the world's rarest animals is still around and having babies! You won't be shocked that he's not a monkey.
Being a visually-oriented person, as well as a lover of irony--have to say I LOVE these recent posts!!
