All who Enter In

As the guests climb the many ascending stairs , with building anticipation, they find themselves at the entrance to the barn! The barn! An old, aching structure that is strengthened upon the gazing of curious onlookers who stand in awe as they behold the towering beauty,stretching upward and casting a shadow that provides reprieve from the heat of the late afternoon sun. Whiskey barrels of planted brilliant annuals with bold spring color salute the entrance. A withered white bench sits on the landing suggesting all to sit awhile and rest, and breathe, and take in these moments! Hooks on each of the corner ballisters often adorn vases with flowers or lanterns or delicate lights that sway with every gentle breeze that whispers through. As guests gather on the deck forming a casual line there seems to be a growing sense that something wonderful and even unexpected is unfolding right before them! The creaking from the stairs give way,echoing a whisper,a faded hint of, how, for years and years this old dairy barn had once held hoisted hay bales that had been pitched from this very perch right here at the entrance to the protected loft that now effortlessly supported the weight of all those who were venturing in! Oh, she holds such annointed purpose of the past but she welcomes, with open arms, these moments of just now! History of this great old barn preserved with yesterday's memories,filling with today's awakenings! Here, right here, at this very entrance all who enter infuse right into the very skin of the old lady making her dance with youth and rejuvenated life! All who enter breathe in and they breathe her and they smile! Yes, they smile and they feel warm, flooded with awestruck wonder and with curiosity and with resolve that ,they too, are now part of her helpless capture!
