The Glass Pavilion

I happened to learn about The Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio. What an architectual wonder. Some 32,000 sq. feet of straight glass. From a metaphysical perspective, this is what struck me: the metaphor of a glass house is all wrong. It's not about it being easy to break/shatter our dreams etc. Instead it's about the being translucent (def: having a glowing appearance as if light was coming through). Ah! How refreshing. Imagine if we all could be open receivers of the light that comes through each of us - instead of putting up the brick walls as if we were living The 3 Little Pigs? What I also love about this architectual wonder is that the glass walls are solid (I'm assuming, not being an engineer - I trust who built them). This translates to - I need to set my boundaries, to shield myself from the projections and opinions of others as they are not mine to take on. Instead, they reflect back on the person putting them out - as does glass when light shines upon it. Shine your light today and break down the brick walls!
