I‘ve heard the word “summit” more times this past week than in my entire lifetime combined. Between the G7 Summit and the upcoming North Korea Summit, that’s a lot of mountains to climb. I mean that in a figurative sense, of course. With new disagreements among some of the G7 heads of state, and older ones between the U.S. and North Korea, getting to a place like the comic above will be quite the journey, I think.
A little art history tidbit because it’s summer and the news has slowed somewhat: This image is from a painting by Caspar David Friedrich titled Wanderer above the Sea of Fog. Many of Friedrich’s works have an epic-yet-peaceful vibe to them, much like others from the Romantic era. I’m hoping life can imitate art in this respect, with regards to the upcoming summit.
