some random observations, or what I learned on the way there
I have recently noticed that I am starting to observe and ponder things more deeply. While walking home from school today I saw a brown glass bottle, broken bar fight style. This made me a little upset, until i saw that it was just a root beer bottle, and then I just chuckled a tad, I dont think that many people have been stabbed with a broken root beer bottle.
On the corner there is this big house, and it was being torn down. The gigantic claw looked like some kind of lumbering ancient metal beast through all of the dust that was kicked up into the air. It was a pretty nice house, and when i walked by it I always thought that it would be nice to live there, if it wasnt in the middle of Aldan and right next to Joel's Dad's workplace. It is amazing how a house can look so fragile when it is being knocked into rubble, just like toy blocks being pushed over by a baby.
Well, this couple and their children also came over to observe, the woman said that it was kind of sad, because the house was pretty, and the man countered by stating that the old had to be destroyed to make way for the new. It's like the Buddhist philosophy of impermenance, how they make those beautiful sand art things (forget the name), and then they just sweep them away when they are finished. Makes me think.......
