POTD: Tumult

Tumult
Bozeman, Montana
2023

A last glimpse of lighter sky before a storm closed in around us. It was a more heinous tumult that occurred 22 years ago today in New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania–one that still reverberates in many ways around the world. Eleven years ago today, I had a tumultuous day of sorts of my own, as that was the day I had open-heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. That, however, was a good kind of tumult as the replacement valve, although aging, is serving me quite well still.
