for the past

Taken at Bu Ho in Ha Noi during my trip to Viet Nam. I wanted to write a separate post as homage to today's date, the 30th of April. 34 years ago on this day, the Viet Nam War ended and our country turned red. I know it's a bit odd to upload a photo not only from the North but from the place in the North, but I wanted to make a point that regardless of what the North does from here on out and how pretty the scenery may be, that I remember the past. It's a concept that pervades some other aspects of my life now. We all want to forgive people and it's divine that we do, but in some matters, all actions for atonement are forever useless. Far, far too much has happened.
