Imagine yourself in a space that you've helped to make "your own." With the help of others, you've helped to organize and clean it to make it a place you and others want to be around. You, yourself are drawn to it on a daily basis.
Imagine you've been given an idea to help a friend add something to their space. You've been given nothing but the idea and the freedom to do with it what you please.
Imagine working on that idea from the ground up. You find yourself in "your" space, thinking up designs and working on it whenever you can find time. In fact, it occupies most of your day, and you're completely alright with that.
Imagine listening to music, moving with the beat and singing along as you do what you do. You experience a wide spectrum of feelings along the way, each one offering something unique to the incredible processes going on in your mind and your muscles.
Imagine how great it feels to figure things out for yourself, to make mistakes and not get frustrated because you know you're going to learn from them.
Imagine someone coming by to say "Come out and play" (so to speak) and responding with "No thanks, I'd really like to keep going with what I'm doing" and genuinely meaning it. You've forgotten what time it is because it doesn't matter.
Imagine forgetting about everything else in the world and truly being peaceful and happy in the present moment just because...
Imagine seeing discarded and left over wood becoming something structural, simple but also beautiful and empowering because you designed and built it with your own hands in less than a day and a half.
Imagine this bench with a properly placed, properly cut piece of REAL wood (instead of a plywood form). And then believe it because it's happening tomorrow.
