As a culture, we constantly look for ways to replace human skill and craft with automatic machines to do jobs the once required muscle, intellect, character, and skill. We have cheaper flip flops now and it’s easier to write and edit on a screen, but the flip flops are throwaway junk and are we creating more literary masterpieces? Time will tell, but too much of what we do won’t last 30 years, let alone 100 years, and I don’t think we understand what we are losing. We need good work.

Yup! Not sure what God and the Devil locked by man in their universal binary struggle have to do with it…..It’s the interconnectedness of it all; everyone and everything holding hands, no beginning and no end…..meanwhile salt make it mysteriously all work: in the dough, in the oceans, in the sweat of our brows….You Guys are temple building; inspired by the vision of God’s paradise and the Devil makes you do it by taking away most other options…..and that most overlooked 20 or 30 odd pounds of cotton, once caulked, will not only keep the water on the outside but also serve to rigidize that entire 80,000 pound structure into one Steadfast vessel capable of withstanding the wiles of the oceans and being a secure home on the seas….We All are watching you with prayers and admiration
