Jeg nyder at arbejde med træ. Træ kaldes et levende matriale og man kan se og føle hvordan tingen står og arbejder. Sidst men ikke mindst, så er træ altid rart og aldrig koldt at røre ved.
Jeg arbejder i træ på alle måder. Jeg drejer både med og imod årene og både i vådt og tørt træ.
More than a thousand years ago a Chinese Zen Master wrote:
Magical Power, Marvelous Action!
Chopping Wood, Carrying Water...
The
message is as true today as it was then: the greatest lessons and the
profoundest heights of the spiritual path can be found in our everyday
life. It is the greatest challenge for people living in contemporary
society to find the spiritual aspects of working in an office, store, or
factory; balancing a checkbook; raising a family; or making a
relationship work. How can we make all these daily activities a part of
the path? How can we apply the insights of great spiritual traditions,
and our own experience, to the way we live and develop?
This book
is a guide - a handbook filled with information, advice, hints,
stories, inspiration, encouragement, connections, warning, and cautions,
for the inner journey as we live throughout our lives.
Chop Wood, Carry Water
contains much ancient wisdom, but the emphasis is on contemporary
perceptions. Many of our guides have been known to humanity for
millennia: they are the world's great spiritual teachers- Christ, the
Buddha, Loa Tse, Confucius. Others are contemporary teacher and healers,
widely recognized and respected. All offer ways to integrate the
events, our focus on relationships and family, our struggle with
technology, money, politics and more- into the quest for spiritual
fulfillment.
