Looking at these estate sale photos, I’m reminded of both the long shadow we cast on the stuff in our lives as well as how silly and useless they feel without us. And the photographer, so artful!

“With these questions, the road to the White House goes through me.” That shot across the bow, fired at a Chinese restaurant on Elm Street in Manchester New Hampshire, speaks directly to Ed Cowan’s faith in the power of ideas. The questions he’s talking about are ones that Cowan, a self-described writer/thinker and substitute school teacher from rural Vermont, wants to pose to President Obama and all the world’s leaders. They raise three main issues 1) nuclear disarmament 2) overpopulation and 3) environmental damage.
Cowan’s platform has a lot of heart, and speak to his deep belief that there can be peace in this world—a belief he has promulgated through decades of op-eds and letters to the editors and self-published books on three continents. But getting the message out, even in the wide-open New Hampshire primary, takes sacrifice. Without much resources, Cowan makes the six-hour roundtrip drive from his home to southern Manchester every day he campaigns, to avoid having to spend for a hotel. He packs his own food so he doesn’t have to eat out (though he did splurge on a $2 slice of pizza and a beer before meeting us). As he’s fond of saying, he’s running on a shoestring budget, without the shoe, just the string.
But after decades of tapping on the glass of the halls of power, from the outside, do not expect Cowan to be dissuaded. And sure enough, at the end of our meal together, his fortune cookie offered a very singular and revealing prophesy: “You never know what you can do until you try.”
Remarkably, Mr. Cowan was the highest vote getter of the 30+ lesser known candidates we were following - 944, second only to Mr. Obama’s on the Democratic ticket.
