I’ve assembled (and disassembled. And reassembled) a lot of children’s furniture in the last month. Enough assembly might make you think you’re building something. You’re not.
You didn’t design it. You didn’t build it. You didn’t even write the assembly instructions.
You’re the guy sweating over the instructions who keeps losing his grip on the included allen key and cursing the cheap plastic end caps for the bed slats that snap in half if you so much as look at them sideways.
No, assembly is not building.
Let’s build.
what do you want to build?
I want to build gatherings: cohorts and classes and trips and retreats.
And much of that involves assembling, in the form of gathering together, so maybe we are sometimes building by assembling .
What do you want to build?
i need a trip to the green world at this point. I am never at a loss for wanting to create things (and assembling deserves more credit, thought i feel your pain)
right now I want to build a shelter from the chaos…
