Sometimes when the lesson is staring me right at the face
unblinking, calling my attention, I still miss it. That’s what happened with the popsicle sticks
I was crafting into a house, garage and flying vehicle for my four-year old
son, Joshua who was excited by the powerful glue gun. The temporality of it all should have warned
me and kept me from losing my temper whenever my design is not followed. Everything is temporary and we’re just
passing through so any attachment to anything be it a physical object or an idea
is never ever healthy.
Popsicle sticks like toy blocks and sand castles are often
subject to instant destruction from the hands that fashion them. Why
should architectural ideas be any different?
Nothing is ever written in stone and even water erodes eons of
hardness. So should we accept
temporality with grace.
