My house has a small back porch off the first floor that feels like the second floor, because the house sits on a ledge, and the basement is the first floor from the back.
I really enjoyed this one. It reminded me of the golden days of the blog in its life commentary, in a very very welcome way. I love that you call it the Folly, I love the ivy on the roof, I love the little wren.
I love the juxtaposition of the natural and unnatural worlds in this post, along with your honesty about how one can tend towards appealing to and cursing a diety in the same breathe. It's amazing how humans outsource both salvation and blame. Considering your lovely wife's affinity for rainbow barber poles, I love that you painted the Folly to reflect that prismatic delight. Many a person fancies themselves a handyman, and in the face of adversity one finds out how creatively one can handle an impromptu challenge. Whether that be painting a sit spot or dealing with a spontaneously sprung leak.
Life is a continuous cycle. The Wren you fed may now feed that Ivy. Although, if it is an invasive English Ivy, it is likely stealing habitat from your many woodland critter friends, who then need your nuts to survive in the absence of their food sources being choked out by Ivy. Again, it proves that humans can both cause a situation and do more work to fix it, attempting to rebalance the natural world and our inner worlds. No doubt those critters bring you much joy. And the creative force of God in your heart can nurture the world of creation as they nurture your psyche and eternal soul when they visit. We are all connected in this world of ever prevalent consciousness. Totality is the name of God; generation, operation and destruction are the holy trinity.
So don't loose heart in the face of leaks or death. Keep considering divine equine filatio and continue spreading your seeds. And yes, there is innuendo in that double entendra. ;)

Thank you, Su!
