Fencing

I was helping to build our new garden fence today and ... to the casual onlooker ... it might almost have looked like I knew what I was doing!


"Isn't it strange how princes and kings,
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
and common people, like you and me,
are builders for eternity?

Each is given a list of rules;
a shapeless mass; a bag of tools.
And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone."

(R. L. Sharp - from A Bag of Tools)
