Ruins

Ancient ruins, Ruined building, Rubble

Ruins show what remains after a long time has passed: fallen walls, empty doorways and stones softened by moss. In a dream they often turn your thoughts to endings and to what lasts. Wandering through ancient ruins can leave a quiet, reflective feeling, a reminder that every age has its rise and fall and life still goes on. Ruins can also be beautiful, proof that something worn and broken can still draw people in. Finding something whole among the rubble suggests a strength or a bond that came through a hard time unharmed.
