The Value of Protests

Saw this great quote in Reader's Digest regarding the value of protests:

We've never said protests are the answer, but protests create space for the answer. Protest is disruption. Protest is confrontation. Protest is the end of silence, and what protest does is creates space for the other work to happen.

Soul-Stirring Images from Photographer Tom Hussey

I saw THIS ARTICLE about Tom Hussey's breathtaking photo series on DigitalSynopsis.com, and had to share it. 

Hussey is a photographer who created images of elderly people looking at their own reflections, which have been superimposed with a photo of their much-younger self.  

All of the images are incredibly poignant, and absolutely worth clicking through to have a look. Two of my favorites: 

The former nurse, now in need of nursing care herself

The military veteran, smiling at his impossibly-handsome younger self
