Rust or noise? You be the judge!

First post here from my phone. Lots of color boost

Ever wonder what to do with worn-out blue jeans?

Rubber Meets the Road (and stays there)

Worn Out Elephant Ears

Imagine how many times these ears were flapped to get so worn out at the edges - or was he born this way?

Worn Bolt on a Weathered Bridge

Long, strong new planks of wood -- shiny new bolts. Loud noises as holes are drilled and the big, bold bolts are crushed into the tough blond planks. A new bridge is built over a creek -- the old one had washed out. Three years later, two photographers stand on the bridge to capture the grace of the rocky, rushing ocean-drawn creek, always new. One glances down at a worn and weathered bolt, melding with the mossy green, roughened bridge. She thinks, they are really together now -- they even look the same.

Why wear?

To the awakened eye, the worn and used shows how "[t]hings are either devolving to, or evolving from, nothingness."

In the worn tool or utensil, there is also the dimension of beings who have come to the object, used it, and passed on.

In the living world, beings intersect with the physical world, pushing it, piece by piece, along the path while, themselves, also evolving and devolving.

In physical world, motion arises from falling water, gravity, heat and cold, plays the same role, and passes on.
