The Lighted Lantern

 


The Lighted Lantern is a sculpture by James W Muir.  It sits in cozy little corner outside a Scottsdale Gallery. I've photographed it at least twice but somehow never posted a photo of it before.  

There is a description at the base that reads:

"The pioneer couple having found the courage within themselves to balance the strength of their union, hold aloft the lantern light of hope for a brave new world of truth, justice, and freedom for all...."

It was a way out there, 150 years ago.

I'm not sure the Native Americans see pioneer couples in that light!

Justice, and freedom for all is a challenge.

The world still strives for the same things but it is a struggle for so many to just survive.

They are looking for a better life and believe in their journey to find it.
