Every now and then go away have a little
relaxation, For when you come back to your
work Your judgement will be surer Since to
remain constantly at work will cause you to
lose power of judgement. Go some distance
away because the work appears smaller And more of
it can be taken in at a glance, And a lack of
harmony or proportion Is more readily seen.


Leonardo Da Vinci 1452- 1519

Its about the taming of randomness,
bringing disparate shapes into a
unified form. In a stockpile stones vary in
their usefulness
but in a wall they share equal importance. The
wall teems with interdependent individual stones
and the beauty comes
from their combined character.
Dan Snow In the Company of Stone
