Sticks and Stones

God’s own bare bones

Shall make my bed

To dream on.

 

 

I have been teaching and making furniture for 27 years. I am still

just as enchanted by the mysterious energy living in a tree

or a stone as I ever was and I will always marvel at how that

spirit helps the pieces to build themselves.
