These Truths

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

~ Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence

This desktop wallpaper calendar is a revision of  last year’s July version [point-click to download a full size version]. I’ll post more soon about the news headlines that have taken priority over creating a new design this year. However, the sentiment holds true. The truths of 1776 are just as self-evident today. People in liberty can do amazing things. The meager efforts of humankind can flourish in freedom–both personal and national. Happy Independence Day!
