Description
Essentially the construction of these tables is the same. Despite their obvious differences they all have a lip cut along an edge to hold the table top; there’s space for a wooden dowel to join the legs to the top, enough lip to put enough glue to hold everything tight. The material provided the constraints, the mind provided variations.
I’m pretty good at beating a metaphor into shape and then beating it to death. In a sense though, these table are analogous to practice . . . I mean if you’re willing to treat a metaphor roughly.
Each of us is constrained by the materials that make up who/what we are. Even so we have the ability to decide, in the moment, how we will respond. When we sit in meditation we take things more slowly so that we can see everything changes, nothing lasts, and thoughts just happen and we don’t have to define ourselves by our thoughts. We can shape, sand, carve, drill and make our experience what we want.
Super blurry pics 🙁 Turns out the lens on my phone is scratched. A lot. So think of this one as having “ambiance”. After the holidays I’ll probably replace my phone and can take better process shots again. Until then it’ll be soft focus like a falling in love scene in a 70s romance movie. The product shots I shoot with my wife’s Nikon digital SLR.
The tree in the product shots is Shelia the Schefflera. She’s grown from a cutting of a much older plant that I was gifted 3 or 4 years ago. Shelia’s been training for a about a year, maybe 18 months.
