I'm taking a bit of a risk here
because I do not know the story behind the place
in the following photographs.
But I found the visual parable
SO compelling...
Below this broken sign
is a gate
closed,
chained,
locked.
And the view past the locked gate:
...a languishing path...
...to a house of faith:
A closer look reveals
broken windows,
failing shingles,
grafitti...
Is our world becoming
a wilderness of abandoned faith?
