growth

an ever present tide 

continuum

events and occurrences
plans and projects
moments minutes months millennia

I’ve been at this table for what, four years?

for that entire stretch the plans have changed

each moment affects the outcome
each memory engrained
each detail on purpose
each piece becomes the culmination of its personal history
and the context of the greater that surrounds it

I feel the shapes reflect my self

I make furniture that describes my inner being
and those moments in my life that define

I pour myself into my design
each surface a reflection of the flow of time

trudge

every day this close to the end
finds itself ever nearer the goal
cracked and sore
the twice daily shovelling
has extracted its toll
on my digits

yet there are times of lust
those moments of refinement turn to ecstasy
a sore spot for months
can find its solace
in beauty

I have an hour now
upon arrival
a fading glimmer of gold

and there's a multitude of minutae here

I step away
and bask in its form

and of course find another distraction
