During the first year of renovations, #ThisOldClownHouse was more construction site than home for clowns. There was debris from lives of previous inhabitants, and one of our big tasks has been to slowly triage the mess into slightly more organized piles.
It's a slow process, and it continues are we work our way through the building.
One eyesore that grated on all of our nerves was a cheap clock that hung on a wall by the door. It was unattractive, and prominently featured a pushy religious phrase.
Eventually a whimsical impulse hit, and I pulled it down.
I tore it apart. I destroyed it. Broke it. Remade it. It isn't even a clock anymore.
The result was this object, which is one of the first nonessential creative objects I threw together since coming here.
It now has a glyphtic phrase in toki pona on it:
ijo wan lon tenpo wan
(One thing in one time)
The word lon also means present, here, and truth.
An arrow points directly at it, as if to say, "You're not too late, it's still now."
