History is gone. 100 year old barn, abandoned for generations, standing then gone.

Interesting photographs of entropy at work. It's amazing, the progression we make in life. As a child, we live in a house and think our childhood home will be there forever. As young adults, readying for a family, we want to "own" a house, not wanting to rent. Feels permanent. Then, we hit a mature age--I'm here now--realizing we don't own anything. The bank owns the moprtgage and the house, and should I not pay property taxes, the town owns it.
ReplyDeleteBut do even they really own it? Do any of us own anything? We use what is on this earth. Even the land our homes are built on will one day, like this barn, be reclaimed by nature. 100 years from now, like the fading family farms and farmhouses, will there be no record of me owning my home, or the land, there will only be some other use for the land...some other "tenant", taking care of this tiny parcel. and should that tenant fall into neglect, nature will take it back. Just like the barn.
Happiness lies in knowing that all things shall pass.
At the risk of forever being known as the superficial son, I was just going to say "COOL"....
