This is a building at the Life Skills and Transition Center that has been over taken by ivy. You can kind of see the windows under the foliage here that used to be a building filled with people. There is something sad about this but it is what it is. It reminds me of the book of Ecclesiastes the 12th chapter where the body is compared to an old house. It is run down and decaying and you can’t see out of the windows anymore. There is a song written by Stuart Hamblin called This Old House”. It was made famous by Rosemary Clooney. The story was that Hamblin and John Wayne were hunting when they came upon an old house in the woods with the body of a dead man inside. His dog was still there guarding the place but the old man was gone. That was the story but I like to think the writer was thinking about Ecclesiastes12.
