Vacation ended as writer reflects on Washington DC trip noting pervasive security. Deterrents included metal detectors and bag searches at venues like the White House and Smithsonian museums. Street people near famous hotels also left an impression on the visit.
A brief, fragmented passage laments a trailing, hopeless mindset tied to a carefree lifestyle. It implies avoidance of responsibility and a reluctance to change habits, reflecting a moral stance without specific events or persons.
The writer recalls a vacation centered on flying, church ties, and DC sightseeing. They describe takeoffs as reminders of salvation, nervy moments with a plane, a six hour Chicago layover, and visits to the National Cathedral while noting Helen Keller’s burial. They invite readers to share vacation stories and note an upcoming minister’s convention in October.
