Actually two thoughts came to mind…the first, it looks like the wall of a home desperately in need of curb appeal…flowers, bushes, etc. The second is that it definitely reminds me of my kids and my husband when I’m trying to explain something or trying to talk some sense into them…”like talking to a brick wall!”

@ Judy, it does look like the wall of a home desperately in need of some touch up and decoration. I thought the second thought is interesting; they must have been pretty stubborn.

For me what comes to mind is emotional as well. I have been actively working on tearing down the walls I built to protect myself. I have a tendency to build walls between myself and others. It is a comping mechanism that I must have “constructed” as a youth. Now, I am working on healthier ways of dealing with things. Anyway, my first thought was an emotional brick wall.

@ Tina, that is very true, I believe that most of us created emotional ‘brick walls’ or ‘walls’ at some points in our lives to protect ourselves. However, in doing that, we have also blocked others from trying to reach out to us. Tearing down these emotional brick walls takes a lot of self-awareness and realization. I truly believe that you are doing well in tearing those walls. Need some tools to bring those walls down?

@ VanillaSeven, it certainly is a pretty well taken shot. Now that you mentioned, it does look like wallpaper if not for the green grasses at the bottom.

For me it’s a hindrance that I need to break to see the other side.

@ Marie, indeed, that is a great hindrance for us to break through to get to the other side. And precisely that is the reason why it was built in the first place; to prevent anyone to get through easily.

to me its like you have tried your hardest to get to a certain point, but something has now stopped you. Now you need to decide to climb over and ignore what people are saying or just walk backwards or stay where you are!!
ooh how deep was that lol. cant wait to read what your dilemma is

I see potential. Potential for homes, potential for people. Potential for really cool photographs of people. Potential for meetings and coffee and cool conversation sitting on the grass

@ Tina, it certainly seems to be that way; a point is reached whereby a decision has to be made on whether to move forward or to stay where one is. Should one be stopped by the brick wall?
@ Meghann, very refreshing ideas. You certainly see a lot of potential of the brick wall where some may only see it as a brick wall.

It looks like a wall at a college or high school. A place to lean and talk to friends.

oh my! BK, the image reminds me of a neighbor’s house that I always wished it was ours when I was a kid, lols! It would look livelier with roses and daisies and I will surely water it everyday^-^…
btw, I agree with them… looks like a yard that needs landscaping:))

@ Karen, indeed, this can be a place where one can lean and talk to friends.
@ Shawie, just as Judy said, this place could use some landscaping.

[...] promised, the details for the last post I did on Brick Wall. “Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.” – [...]

BK, this is a very moving post. Every human being is in process of scaling such walls. This reminds me of Steve Job’s 2005 lecture to the Stanford convocation class. It is available on Youtube. You can also consult it here:

@ Liara, that was one of my all time favorite video; very moving and inspiring speech.

Interesting. I see a schoolyard, elementary. Looks just like a school where I used to live.
