restoration
the sather gate restoration project has been ongoing for about 6-7 months now. this gate is symbolic of berkeley. here's a postcard picture of it for you:
as i walked past it this morning, there are some parallels i drew. i noted that they were plugging back in some of the pieces (now restored). the entire gate is expected to be in pristine condition by april '09. and to last another 100 years, no problem.
restoration is at once symbolic of the old and the new. it depends on your perspective. it does indeed indicate the old-ness of a thing, and yet it reinforces the potential for and subsequent realization of change, for rebirth and renewal, for endless growth. see it as you will :).
