All the best things are a little rusted, a little faded, a little wearing away.
The most interesting places have been changed over time - but not too much - and left a little too long without care in the rain and wind.
The strongest objects and materials (and people) are those that have been broken, but still find a way to stand, to seem almost as if they could fly.
The doors I want to enter are peeling a little, and perhaps their lamps have lost their lights.
The views are better from the vantage points of storied places, and the land looks nicer when it's sometimes left alone.
