Sit on a chair, and look around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The table in front of you took many hours to be built; it\u2019s four legs shaped symmetrically. The finishing of the wooden top, coated to protect from wear and tear.<\/span><\/p>\n

The music that is playing in the background. A singer with a four-piece band, playing through the speakers. The layers of production to give you this sonic experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

The building that you are in, sheltering you from the afternoon heat. The house that is now your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four thin pieces plus a slap of wood on the top took more than 40 hours to be made. The 3.5mins song took more than 3 months to be written and another 3-4 months to produce (maybe a year’s worth of mulling with the muses\u2014and writing other bad songs\u2014to even begin writing that song). The house that you live in took more than a year to be built, another six months to make it your home, and a lifetime for its soul to\u00a0come alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything takes time to be made, but so little to consume it. Even that chair that you are sitting on right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are made in the passage of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make time to appreciate the making of things and people around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[66,65],"class_list":["post-1123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psychological","category-reflections","tag-gratitude","tag-time","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1123"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1127,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1123\/revisions\/1127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
