How is your serenity?

Today has been a pretty huge day in a physical way. Fiona and I had committed to working with Brendan and his dingo to relocate 6 cubic metre of gravel onto the lower terraces so I can spread it over the next week. It is very hard to keep up with a machine - we were moving the gravel downhill so Brendan could take it on a two minute trip.

I had also committed to helping a 78 year old neighbour cut down all the large branches of a very large avocado tree - a two hour chain saw etc etc job. By 2pm I was whacked.

This afternoon Fiona had a research related interview In Maroochydore so I took the opportunity to duck across to Nambour to buy a bench grinder that can double as a metal work polisher.

But after all that and before settling down with a wine and homemade pizza I did manage to create a small palm sized reflection-meditation bowl. The photo of the bowl in my grimy hand indicates the size.

I guess I made this bowl as a statement - although the day has been demanding our life on the block and in our neighbourhood is rewarding and full or good things - so serenity bowl was a fitting way to end the day.
