Mount Rushmore

As part of our trip through South Dakota, the boys and I visited Mount Rushmore tonight. The whole feeling around the place is one of spirituality. The boys spoke in hushed voices without being prompted. I spoke in a hushed voice, without thinking about it.

I don't know the experience was "Catholic" necessarily, but it had a holiness. I will have to pray about this to get a better handle on how I felt and why I felt it. There wasn't a religious ceremony. It was a history lesson, coupled with the lighting of the Monument and recognition of past and present military. Rationally looking back, I don't see a reason for my feelings, but there were definitely there.

Maybe a little sleep will bring clarity.
