Barns in France

I saw this barn earlier, in August, in Alet-les-Bains.

So much potential. Just need some input from Chip and Jo.

And then, I noticed another barn, not far from where I’m living in Limoux. After seeing the structure in Alet-les-Bains, I recognized it as a barn, too.

It must be ancient, in that other buildings are for residents in Limoux. There’s an address over the archaic door, thinking, again, about the potential for renovation.

When I returned from Rouen, look!

This is going to be so fun to watch being renovated.

A peek inside…

A loft and skylights, right?

This is a photo I’ve saved for, gosh, I don’t know, I think three years now.

Same basic structure as the barns in Alet-les-Bains and in Limoux.

‘I am sorry. Forgive me’

The English ‘I am sorry’ wraps the plea in the logic of individuality and the English ‘Forgive me’underlines the same. What I have done was done only by me and thus is only my responsibility. This ‘I am sorry. Forgive me’ is all about me.

‘Ndicela uxolo’ means ‘I ask for peace.’ It is an ubuntu apology and it is about we. ‘I ask for peace’ sees our interconnectivity.

Ubuntu peace is peace between us and peace within each of us. Ubuntu forgiveness is peace that heals.

‘Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.’ -Kahlil Gibran

Bonne nuit.
