Shattered Dreams

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Weston, West Virginia

 

Lastly, this image makes me think of the hopes and prospects that people may have had before they entered the asylum. As I mentioned, it's somewhat amazing to me that our minds are able to function at all, considering all the chemical and neurological processes that are taking place, as well as all of the (sometimes horrendous) inputs that our brains receive every day, or hour, or minute.

I'm grateful each day that I can rationalize, feel, love, observe, and empathize.
