Just the tip.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. | Abraham Lincoln . . . #instagramtennessee #4thofjuly #ruralamerica #johnsoncitytn #redandwhitebelong #blueandwhitebelong #merica #naturetakeover #nothingisordinary_ #findingbeautyoutofshit #beautymess #timelessamericana #forgottenwalls (at Johnson City, Tennessee)

Oh the river of death lies just before me Can I find a place that I can cross Or will I be in sin forever Oh Lord don't let my soul be lost🎼 ______________________________________________ Appalachian Trail in Unicoi County, TN overlooking the Nolichucky River - which means "River of Death" in Cherokee. #themoreyouknow (at Appalachian Trail)

Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them every where I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there 🎼 I Still Miss Someone | Johnny Cash ______________________________________ I always wonder what people are thinking when contemplating something so amazing and magnificent as this scenery. Is he missing someone? Is he soaking in the moment and thinking of nothing? Is his heart filled with love? (at San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge)

Yet, even amidst the hatred and carnage, life is still worth living. It is possible for wonderful encounters and beautiful things to exist. Hayao Miyazaki (at San Ramon, California)

"You’ve gotta give them hope. If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door" #harveymilk I borrowed this beautiful tunnel photo from a friend. I was going to use it to celebrate #pridemonth. The events in Orlando have put the pride I feel for all the we have accomplished on pause. Now it's time to remember and reflect. Not just those that passed Pulse Nightclub, but for Tyler Clementi, Matthew Shepherd, and the countless names and faces of the tortured, condemned, murdered LGBTQA+. To my queer kids I say this: don't stop coming out. Don't stop being brave. Celebrate your beauty! And know that you are loved. Always. 🌈 (at San Francisco, California)

What if every day is the perfect day to finally be exactly who you were always meant to be? @tylerknott (at Johnson City, Tennessee)
