The God Box and the Pencil Box

I got this machine. It is called a "Laser Engraver" The machine can also cut complex shapes accurately. One of the things I have made with it is called a "God Box" It is a box with a hole in it but no lid. The idea is to write down something for which you are grateful or for which you want to turn over to God or your Higher Power or to the universe such as anger at someone for something they did to you. You then put the piece of paper in the hole in the God Box thereby turning it over to whom or what ever you believe you are tuning it over too.

I do this. It is really the ritual or rather the physical action of writing it down on the piece of paper and putting it in the box that helps me in my mental ability to actually "turn it over."

Anyway, here are some pictures of a God Box I made. On the sides of the box are things that I turned over. There are two pictures of my ex-wife engraved on the ends of the box and picture of my boys on the front and a picture of the flatirons of Boulder, CO of which I am letting go. I am not letting go of my boys per se, rather I am letting go of any control that I might have over them. They are in the "ex's" hands. It is really "the way it was" is what I am letting go of.







I also just made a pencil box. Yea Yea Yea, I know you could care less but this is what I have fun doing. I hope to be able to make money at it some day
