When I was decorating my apartment someone told me “Make sure to get a night table! You’ll want it for your books, for a lamp…”

So I went to IKEA and I got the stand for my books.  It was a pain in the ass to install and I basically fucked it up, but I installed it by my bed.

Later, when rearranging my apartment, I realized that I could move my bed next to a bench that’s built-in to my space… and do away with the need for a night table.

In a spiritual sense maybe what to say is: I got caught up in how it manifested rather than intention. By focusing on the concrete specifics of the intention (form) rather than the function… I failed to grasp the optimal solution immediately.

The relationship between form and function bears further study. Recommendations?
