Some days
We feel lost
No map can find
What we are looking for
We wander
Around this Earth
Trying
Hoping
Searching
For something more
Gratification
A forgotten friend
Never visited
Some days
I wonder
and I wander
Wondering if
I will ever reach
Self gratification
So I will wander
but not all who wander
are lost.

The House of the Human Soul
I was walking down the street today when I saw this building getting demolished by large pieces of equipment. The building just fell victim to its wrath so quickly. I find it quite intriguing how much work goes in to putting up a building, only to so easily have it demolished. All of the brainstorming, planning, ideas to paper, buying of materials, time investments; the list goes on and on. This is surprisingly comparable to the human soul.
Throughout our entire lives we constantly task ourselves with investing in the improvement of ourselves. We build upon our life experiences and grow as humans. Much like the buildings, we invest time, money, effort, emotions, thoughts, ideas, etc., into ourselves. What is even more interesting is that even the strongest souls are fragile. Buildings have their constraints that they can withstand and so do our souls. Our souls can fall apart at the push of a button, just as easily as the building can be demolished at the swing of a machine.
Some times it can feel as if our foundation of our souls is falling beneath our feet without a conceptual understanding of why it is happening. Life tends to bring out our weak spots. Sometimes our souls might crumble. Our walls will break, our foundation disappears, and we feel as if we are left with nothing but a bunch of broken pieces.
The beauty of it all is that there is always a plan. Sometimes we have to get broken down to build something more magnificent back up. The ruins might never go away and the memories will always be there, but luckily, a better stronger soul and building will get put up with just as much, if not more precision than the one that previously stood before it. We are constantly changing and evolving, and sometimes it is best to start a new path, and new building, and new soul. A stronger, better, more majestic soul.
