A few days ago, I bogged about the nature of walls. In response, I received this insightful comment from a Danish friend. These comments are gifts and I feel they are well worth passing along:
So – thanks to you my Danish Friend, and I hope you do not mind that I repeated your comment:
“Walls are protecting us from the outside. Sometimes they are thick of bricks and we feel protected…but we can not let anyone in.
Too thin walls don´t give us much shelter – especially not if we live in an earthquake area, like Haiti. And who cares about the color on the wall, if we know the walls are too thin to give us shelter, anyway.”
These comments go to the heart of walls – not what they hear, or say, or their dress, but their very nature.
Thin walls give too little shelter, thick walls sometimes too much – perhaps as is alluded to here, it depends upon the ground on which we, and the walls stand.
Beautiful comment. I appreciate the conversation. Thank you.
Shouldn't...but Do
