"shedding of skin"
This photo was taken right before we left that Friday morning on our road trip. It becomes symbolic of a personal existentialism of letting go of the old, whether it be the physical property that I had to displace, or my emotional and spiritual sense of the land of Lincoln. For these moments that I am gone, I've left a big part of me there, my SKIN, but now it's time to bring LIGHT to the new. Plus, this photo is just plain gross looking, and if you're not grossed out a little bit by it, just imagine how close I had to get to this skin-covered tree. :)

I've had so many spiritual experiences here. Maybe it's the place. Maybe it's the dream of architectural study. But I think it's the thought on everyone's mind that was chosen to be shared. Everyone's contribution in class becomes a spiritual thought, somehow tying to the care of our world, to the focus of giving other's a spiritual experience through architecture, and oddly, people sharing that most of their spiritual experiences in life were brought by experience, by lovers, and by their own children. I've realized that I have just begun. If I can continue to embrace this swelling of heart in every field of my life, whether it be school, work, nature home, activity,phone conversation, then I will be full.
