At midday on April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee rode into this yard, dismounted and disappeared into the McLean house. Grant surrounded by Generals and staff officers, soon followed. Dozens of officers, horses and onlookers waited outside. After 90 minutes Lee and Grant emerged. To the silent salutes of Union officers Lee rode back through the village - to his defeated Army. The home that hosted the surrender meeting was was one of the best in Appomattox. Built in 1848, it had since 1862 been owned by businessman Wilmer McLean. The house became a sensation after the surrender, Union officers took some mementoes: and in 1893 it was dismantled for display in Washington, D. C. The display never happened and the National Park Service reconstructed the building on it's original site in the 1940's.
From the book HeartSong's Revolution by Kathryn Knoll, SNJM that accompanies the Hearthstones she makes...
SURRENDER
"When you choose the Hearthstone surrender, you are invited to let go of your fear. This is the only thing really keeping you from your greatness. You struggle to hold on to something that has never been real. It is only an illusionary creation your mind has conjured to distract you from seeing your magnificence. Surrender. Pull out your white heart cloth and lay it down, now. The only real control you have is to choose to let go of the illusion. You cannot put off the inevitable truth: the shining light of your holy being is becoming obvious to those around you. Embrace the awesome being you are that everybody wants to love."

Unconditional Surrender is a sculpture by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt in August 1945: V-J day in Times Square. Through the help of several Sarasota County veteran's organizations, the 25-foot aluminum statue based on the photograph was donated to the county.

Inside my college campus, where the memory remains green. ( Taken by Ishtiaque/ April 2005 / Dhaka College Campus / Bangladesh)
This is one of my favorite shots from my last shoot, it almost looks like the water is stabbing her and going inside her chest.
Its crazy the way a camera can capture water, i love itt.
This surrender card is more about the surrender to one's talent, and to one's need to reinvent oneself, than it is about the surrender to God (as in the Sufi Dervish card) -- but perhaps these are not different?

01-This is the front of the Karlshorst Berlin May 8th 1945 Surrender building. The sign at the gate says that the Russian-German Museum is closed due to renovations. Notice the T-34 tank at the left side of the building.
Midafternoon after the snowstorm, a few strollers were about, along with some people scraping their windshields clean. Sidewalks were clear on Germantown Avenue but spottily elsewhere. Outside Kilian's Hardware was standard fare: a snowblower, shovels, sleds and firewood. Kids and teens seemed to be out in the most numbers, But the most action, and there wasn't as much as usual given the 22 degree temperature was at the Water Tower Recreation Center where families gathered with their sleds, inflatables and snowboards for rides down the wavy hill. It was gleeful. Dan Taylor was taking movies of his daughter Camille and her friend Mariana from Columbia, students at Masterman, as Mariana experienced sledding (and slipping off) for the first time.
