The egg chair

Jul23

The egg chair!

What, you ask?

Well it’s a chair 

In the shape of an egg

And it’s suspended from above

You sit in it…

So far it’s like any other chair

But you can twirl in the egg chair

Rock back and forth 

Go side to side

Or all the way around

It’s like you are floating on water 

Moving up and down with the waves

When you sit in the egg chair 

You can relax more

You can daydream 

You feel uplifted and light 

The egg chair is what Albert wanted this summer

But as far as I was concerned 

I thought it was a bit over the top

Did we really need an egg chair?

We’ve done just fine without it till now

After all it’s so big

Takes up so much space 

Will it fit with the rest of the patio furniture?

I had all kinds of reasons why it was an extra expense

But when I sit in it now

And swing and rock back and forth

The feeling is priceless

And I think Albert has good taste

Do we know how?

Unity can be an illusive thing

We know what it is theoretically

But what does it mean in practice?

We know we must be loving

But are we always?

We have good intentions 

But sometimes we’re misunderstood

We want to creat harmony 

But by what means?

There is a lot of hurt in our communities

But does that justify hurting someone else’s feelings?

We are still so flawed and need to learn many things

But we are on our way to perfection and unity

We have to be very patient with one another on this way

Sometimes we will learn our lessons the hard way

Sometimes we need to forgive and forget

The human condition is a complicated one

We know what we must do

But do we know how always?
