“Joinery, it now occurs to me, must be the foundation of all craft. You put two things together to make something else, to accomplish some purpose; the better they fit, or work together, the greater the pleasure from the making.”
John Jerome, Stone Work: Reflections on Serious Play and Other Aspects of Country Life

“Snow falling in the woods when there’s no wind is the most peaceful thing I’ve ever seen.”
John Jerome, Stone Work: Reflections on Serious Play and Other Aspects of Country Life

“On the solstice: “The tilting of the earth may very well have stopped at the winter solstice, creaking to a halt and starting back the other way, but I was down in the basement at the time, running a power saw, and didn’t hear a thing.”
John Jerome, Stone Work: Reflections on Serious Play and Other Aspects of Country Life
