We were in Italy a year ago, and I’ve been thinking about the trip and the stories I still want to tell.
The Lion
I recently posted a photo of the bronze winged lion that towers above Venice’s main square, Piazza San Marco.
Because the mythical creature is the symbol of St. Mark/San Marco, who is the patron saint of Venice, it has come to also represent the city itself. (And you can spot winged lions all over the place!)

The Lorax
Anyway, the other August photo I wanted to share is a panoramic shot from inside the Geisel Library in La Jolla (San Diego).
It’s a glass wall covered with facts about Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) and the history of the unusual building.
My favorite part was this quote from The Lorax:
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
When you think about it, that sentiment about caring enough to take action is oddly in line with something St. Mark (quoting Moses) wrote:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
