Bed Time Touchdown




This is a long over due post, but we recently transitioned my son from his crib to a bed on the floor. Well it isn't just any bed on the floor. It was made by me and some great friends of mine.

A big thank you to them and their generosity, for both the materials and skills, it means a lot to me and thank you is the only gesture I can offer in return.

So onto the bed, it is made of the finest Ash wood Iowa can offer, I think it turned out great, and as you can see my son feels the same.

Wow - Do you know me?

Did you ever read something and relate to it so much that it was as though the words in front of you came from somewhere within you?

It doesn't happen often to me, but it did today, I thought I would share it.

"Fastened securely to my back is the weight of a man in his becoming. An anatomy chart littered with the remains of past lives that could not be reassembled. Deep in the heart in which they dwell all things are seasoned beyond my years and reek of mystery."

The first line was what struck me so deeply, I hope it resonates with you.
