A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

At Mount Rushmore, Kefei focuses on sculptor Gutzon Borglum's relationship to his subjects and uses it to consider the influence of people he has admired. The visit recalls an encouraging exchange from his years working as a tour guide in Shanghai.

His reflection centers on how colleagues, mentors, and brief encounters can raise personal aspirations. Gratitude for those influences leads toward a wish to encourage others through mentorship and continued association.

A reading note on the published post. The complete piece, photographs, and conversation are on Koffeemocha.
