Saturday evening we started working on a project for a
friend, who is transforming her restaurant into a Jamaican restaurant.
We gathered some materials from the barn to recycle and we bought a few extra things from the store.
Before going to bed, we played with it for about an hour to see how it could all result in the desired tropical beach hut roof construction: nice to look at, sturdy, using the materials we’ve got and transportable in the car.
We both fell asleep with questions on our minds about ‘ how can
it be constructed, especially the triangle shaped parts of the construction’.
In the morning, we shared our ideas on the matter. Richard spoke about an idea
to create a certain type of bolds that would do the trick.
I found my inspiration in the world of scouts, who can build anything using rope to tie parts together. A almost didn’t share this idea, thinking it would be ‘ too simple’ . But I decided to share it anyway, to have it as an option available on the table.

Whilst Richard was having a shower, I had the topic loosely
in my mind.
I found myself ‘ looking’ at an object in the room. I wasn’t watching
it, it was merely that It happened to be in the direction where my eyes where
gazing. It was the type of object that normally doesn’t catch my attention in
the morning... a small drying frame for socks and underwear.
I could have just turned my head. I could have decided to
make myself a cup of tea. Instead, I wondered: ”Why am I looking at this
object?” Immediately the ‘ funny’ thought crossed my mind that it could hold
the inspiration for the beach hut roof construction. Could the construction be
done with clothes-pegs? That would be unusual! ( but why not?).
I looked with some more attention and interest to the drying
frame and I let my thoughts play with the whole thing. In the back of my head I
related it to the triangle shapes in the construction of the beach hut.
On the flow of tensionless taking this essence of this small
construction in.... it suddenly struck
me how this plastic construction was made of a square solid base and suspended
by ‘ ropes’ , creating precisely the type of triangle shapes we want to
construct for the beach hut roof. A construction we also had in mind to suspend
from the ceiling!
Eureka!
I caught Richard before he could have dried himself of, to tell
him enthusiastically that inspiration had struck me. When I explained the idea,
he got enthusiastic and we started executing this idea together.
We had so much fun doing it! And the whole process of
creation was such a wonderful example of how the Law of Attraction ( send =
receive) works in everyday life:
- We expressed our heartfelt desire to find solutions.
- I shared my suggestions.
- Richard shares his suggestions.
- The Universe shared suggestions with us, through our awareness.
What a beautiful example of working all together!
We had so much fun creating and we are very pleased with the
result so far ( being precisely what we desired) nice to look at, sturdy, using
the materials we’ve got and transportable in the car.
We took it apart, we took it with us to the restaurant and
helped with some plastering and painting work there. Once the dining room is
ready to be decorated, we will suspend the construction and finish it on site.
Inspiration in action, such fun!
