A Name is a Name, or is It?
A while back, I heard a piece on the radio talking about a campaign Minnesota was running, to find a slogan for their state to use on their license plates. It brought in numerous suggestions. The one I remember because it was hilarious was, “Smell our dairy air.” I laugh every time I say that!
I love words. With words, you convey meaning and feelings, describe beauty or ugliness, create terror or calmness, and evoke desire or repulsiveness. It’s wonderful! The conference I attended last week was all about words, precisely the written and spoken words of George MacDonald, an author, poet, lecturer, pastor, father of eleven, and social justice activist. Writing in the late 1800s, his books were popular in England and America. Today, he is cherished by many, including me.
When I started working at Louis Page and learning about the vast array of fencing products, I was confused. To Duncan and Terry, the names of the products made sense. To me, they could have been a foreign language—Yard Gard, Hex netting, galv before, fixed knot. Non-climb was about the only one that made sense to me!
One of George MacDonald's tremendous talents was his ability to imagine. The conference aimed to expand our imaginations and see ourselves as subcreators in this glorious world. When we create, we use words, whether we are designing boundaries for our properties or writing poetry. And creation requires imagination.
If you are imagining a new project that requires fencing materials, you may be confused about the types of fencing available. Call Terry. Our resident expert for almost 24 years, she has tremendous knowledge of the options. 978-486-3116 (or tap to call).
Check out Louis Page for great descriptions of our products.
If you can imagine it, we can fence it.
