Life is Epic

when i went to tennessee a few months back to visit some of my dad's old friends from Nicaragua, we were walking across some bridge in Nashville, and i saw this on a pillar/column/thing

found it as i looked for something to draw in my pics, and i remembered how awesome it was that someone left it there, and i wondered who was it and why they put it there, what the story was behind it

so i took this pic, but these words of wisdom are not mine
