Walls

Our tin burro, patiently waiting for Spring.

These days it’s hard to think of building walls without thinking about the destruction of walls. In this country, and around the world, people’s walls are coming down. From the Marshall fire, to tornado destruction in New Orleans, to the brutal attacks in Ukraine, the news is full of imagery of wreckage. People’s homes, apartments, community gathering places, hospitals, and schools, have been flattened and destroyed.  Walls, which were meant to define spaces and provide protection against outside elements, have fallen leaving people misplaced, injured and most tragically, dead. And although walls can be seen as barriers or divisions, they also create private and often sacred spaces. They are important to people. And so it is with empathy for those whose walls have fallen, that we share our progress this week.

 Week 11
This week interior walls started to go up. We are very grateful and excited about this progress. Even though much of the barn’s main space is open, there is a bathroom, kitchen and utility/mechanical space. The new walls look well built and we are happy to watch the vision of the interior start to come to life. This is when you can start to imagine a long table set with flowers and candles surrounded with guests enjoying each other’s company.
