"Embracing Change: The Art of Adjustment" In a world constantly evolving, adjustment becomes the key to progress and growth. Just like King George VI in Coronation Robes by Albert Collings, we must adapt to new roles and responsibilities with grace and dignity. Sometimes, it's the quiet music practice that requires adjustment. W. H. Robinson reminds us that through perseverance and fine-tuning our skills, we can create beautiful melodies that resonate with our souls. Similar to the Hummingbird Hawk Moth in Flight, life moves at a rapid pace. We must learn to navigate swiftly amidst chaos while maintaining balance and composure. The safety-fork adjustment for motor-cars protecting chickens on the road (litho) teaches us about innovation, and is crucial to find solutions that safeguard not only ourselves but also those around us as we journey forward. Just as the new Fruit-tree Pruner automatically limewashes bark while pruning branches (litho), we should strive for efficiency in all aspects of life. By streamlining tasks and finding ways to multitask effectively, we can achieve more than ever before. "A Perfect Fit" by 1863 (oil on panel) showcases how they are necessary for personal growth. Like a tailor altering garments precisely, we must make changes within ourselves to become better versions of who we were yesterday. Clock Maker at Work Date: 1948 reminds us of time's relentless march forward. Adjusting our schedules wisely allows us to seize every precious moment without succumbing to its pressures. Susi - with clock, Susi - with carriage clock, Susi - with grandfather clock symbolize adjusting our surroundings according to personal taste and style. Surrounding ourselves with objects that bring joy fosters an environment conducive for self-expression and happiness. Chandeliers, brackets, back lamps (Plate 245) illuminate spaces beautifully when adjusted correctly—just like finding balance between lightness and darkness in our lives.
