BRICK

Brick houses withstand far more than any other kind. But when they crumble, they fall hard. Crashing to the ground, crushing everyone and everything that hid inside. Amidst the dust and rubble, we might uncover pieces from a life turned disaster. Archaeologists, we pluck the memories, the artifacts, the physical manifestations of what came before. We pluck pieces from the wreckage and start to build again, brick by brick, a new life--one that holds the fallen bits close, but is unafraid to push forward. Fearless, the brick house stands stronger than ever. It simply exists, stoic and brave. It experiences each moment and then lets it go. Through tragedy, this brick house finds peace.
