@isaacgreene And, speaking of boats, if you haven’t read the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome, my kids really enjoyed it as a read-aloud a few years ago. I think they were 11 and 8 at the time.

@isaacgreene I agree. Although for me, since I’m not a sailor, it really should have more to do with my workshop, which is a constant mess and disaster when I have a project going. Maintenance probably means having a place for everything and putting stuff away when I’m done using it. I have a long way to go to get to that place.

@isaacgreene I saw this article today on maintenance and thought it might interest you.

\n

“That reflects a second underrated fact about maintenance: good maintenance is often nothing like the chore of brushing teeth and washing dishes, but an intellectually demanding task requiring knowledge, intelligence and curiosity. To repair a complex object requires patient problem solving and the diligent discovery of hidden trouble. It is an act of mastery.”

@bethanyh This is from the preface to Toilers:

\n

“Religion, society, nature: such are the three struggles in which man is engaged. These three struggles are, at the same time, his three needs. He must believe: hence the temple. He must create: hence the city. He must live: hence the plow and the ship. But these three solutions contain within them three wars. The mysterious difficulty of life springs from all three. Man is confronted with obstacles in the form of superstition, in the form of prejudice, and in the form of the elements. A triple ananke weighs upon us: the ananke of dogmas, the ananke of laws, the ananke of things. In Notre-Dame de Paris the author denounced the first of these; in Les Misérables he drew attention to the second; in this book he points to the third.

\n

With these three fatalities that envelop man is mingled the fatality within him, the supreme ananke, the human heart.”

\n

ananke - Greek term for necessity

\n

I’m not sure what all that means, except that he thought of them as some kind of set.

@bethanyh It’s a weird coincidence, but I just picked up The Mill on the Floss yesterday at a used book store. Did you enjoy it?
\nHugo is very long. Les Misérables, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Toilers of the Sea make a kind of set. It’s been years since I read them. They are a little like Moby Dick in some of their long descriptive sections.

@isaacgreene Really enjoyed the post on maintenance. It’s something I’ve thought about over the past several years, and I’ve become aware that maintenance for me really requires me to be present and paying attention. I can’t coast along in automatic mode, because then I ignore the things (and relationships and skills and everything) that would benefit most from regular attention. It takes a lot of energy and focus, and it’s so easy to slack. But, in the grand scheme the maintenance probably takes less energy than the repair. Thanks for the encouragement!
