Roger Eagen

One of the purposes of my journey is best exemplified in the chance meeting I had with Roger Eagen.  He taught me many things that I probably won't understand for a long time.

This is a photograph and video about the man i met on a dirt road in Wisconsin. Please look at the black and white picture for a moment and think about the possible story. Then watch the video to see how they compare.

 he was getting the mail at the end of his mile long driveway. We started talking and we became part of eachother's story.

I think its amazing how we see the photo and then only after the video does it really become alive. It really has emotion. the questions have been answered. at least the easy ones..
