THE ARMCHAIR

I grew up using real armchairs that were soft, huge, comfortable, with nice arms and which allowd room for thinking and writing and doing a lot of meditational work and which are 'a great invention'..MOST GREAT ENGLISH WRITERS AND MAGICIANS all used arm chairs in some way when doing things....mulling things over by even fictional characters sitting in armchairs is well-known especially among Victorian Detectives of note and literary fame.........The armchir is a sort of throne but it is more than that...IT IS A VEHICLE OF TRANSPORTATION OF THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE WINGS...a place to view VAST VISTAS and to receive IMAGES...and to take flights of the imagination...at true LAUNCH PAD....today's abominable abodes, those slick modern apartments and senior centers with glizy, trendy furniture and modernistic twists, do not have such a thing.....children are relegated to a culture of clutter and plastic and cheap, light materials that eventually are disposed of and thrown away to be replaced by 'adult' toys of crap that has not lasting value or significance...but which fills landfills .....When was the last time you sat in a real armchair?
