Past Sandplay Seminars

Carpentry has a rhythm that should never

be violated. You need to move slowly,

methodically, never trying to finish early,

never even hoping that you'd be done sooner.

It's best if you work without thought of the

end. If hurried, you end up with crooked

door joints and drafty rooms...Putting in

a window should be a joy...The only good carpenter

is the one who knows that he's not good.

He's afraid that he'll ruin the whole house,

and he works slowly...The good carpenter

knows that his beams might be weak, and a misstep

might ruin the place he loves. In the end,

you find your own pace, and you loose time.

When you started, the sun was high and now

that you're finished, it's dark. Tomorrow, you

might put in a door. The next day,

you'll start on your new deck.
