Doorways and time

Near our apartment is a church. This bricked up doorways makes up the southern side.

I like the idea of a bricked up doorway as it symbolizes time in a particular way. At one point in time, people would use that doorway to walk into the church. These people had lives, families, thoughts. Now, the place they used to walk into the church is filled with bricks. At some point, someone decided to change the doorway into a wall.

The signs of time all around me, but mostly, I don’t notice. There used to be old buildings where the present buildings stand, yet because I can’t see them, I don’t see the change. That change is visible with a bricked up doorway.
