So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

When I enter Lowe's, I usually find myself in the lawn and garden section. I begin by imagining my perfect garden, green and overgrown, with flowers spilling across wooden trellises, flagstones leading down shady paths, and hidden pools lit up at night by solar-powered lawn torches. One part of my perfect garden will have edible plants like tomatoes and corn, but the vast majority of the edible part of my garden will be chives. Who knew there were so many different types of chives to choose from? There will be one of those wide, raised outdoor fire pits that are illegal in Rhode Island and a fanciful rain gauge. Once my garden is thoroughly imagined, I proceed to the paint aisle, where a myriad of multi-colored swatches greets me, asking me to imagine a great number of rooms, a room for every color, a paint brush for every job, shiny and matte, chocolate and daisy, ivory and plum. In hardware I find door knobs and drawer handles. In plumbing I find kitchen faucets, shower knobs, long pvc pipes. I fancy myself a plumber and imagine fixing all of the leaky faucets in my apartment to the surprise and delight of my roommate. I wander through shades and shelves, I look at pots and pails. I spend twenty minutes thumbing through a magazine that teaches you how to make your attic into a livable space, even though I don't actually own an attic. Lighting is one of my favorite departments. I suddenly want to install fixtures, lanterns and chandeliers. Several free-standing lampposts are mentally added to my garden. Having just come from Electrical, I am confident in my ability to choose and install the right kind of wiring to add light to my non-existent garden and sunroom. In Lumber I examine each type of wood and each type of board. In my mind they are being assembled into bunk-beds, decks, tree-houses and sheds. My heart fills with happiness. It is not a content feeling, but rather a overwhelming desire to create, to build something, to make things functional and beautiful and to contribute something to the world. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the reason I like Travis is because he makes me feel like I do when I'm in Lowe's. He makes me want to build things. 10 Comments. Any comment I leave is going to sound indelicate and awkward next to your entry, so here it is. You said it perfectly. I get the same feeling looking at Pier 1 Imports. One day it was raining, and I looked into the store from across the street and it was glowing with colour. CALLING TO ME, to make some pretty shiny home to go with a pretty shiny life. I guess building the home = building the life, too? » Unicornasaurus on 2011-06-09 12:07:08 You yankees and your illegal firepits.

But, if he harms you - i'm going to mail him an exploding Texas Cactus. ;) I'm really glad that you're happy though. Seriously. Also, when are you moving to Paris? » Helena on 2011-06-09 11:53:28 This is such a great analogy! Lucky man :) » frostbitten on 2011-06-11 11:38:49 if u just keep on thinking of a garden, u will get it eventually. =) » renaye on 2011-06-12 09:09:38 AWWW! Tee hee!
