“Annicca; impermanence…..Nothing which takes form can endure for eternity. Sooner or later it will be worn away, broken, destroyed or disintegrated, providing the material from which new forms come into being”.
From the booklet “Blueprint of Happiness” by the English Buddhist monk Bhikku Anoma Mahinda
Revelation; I despise those ubiquitous $6.98 plastic outdoor chairs. I believe if every last one of them were to be melted down we could cover our planet with a thin skin of white plastic. The idea frightens me. Perhaps this is why my favorite curbside find is lawn furniture. I break for it.
The problem is that it’s costing me. I’m currently waiting to get back four chairs and a table from B D & G Sandblasting East 54th street (take notes). Fifty bucks for the table and fifteen apiece for the chairs. The worst part of it is that I’ve hit a wall in terms of selecting a color scheme. This is where Martha Stewart and I part company. Of course the service makes a nifty tax write off; and this is where Martha and I reemerge.
