Reflection

BENCH - COUCH - LOVE SEAT

A bench, couch or love seat is certainly different than a single chair.

Just sitting there - each gives a different message.

I'm sure cave men and women sat on single rocks as well as long logs.

Church benches send a message - togetherness - while the priest sits up there in the sanctuary in a single chair - prominent to say the least,

The judge sits there in the courtroom - on his bench - but it's a single chair - as in the supreme court.

The jury sit in single chairs - but they are usually lined up next to each other - often in two single rows.

The witness - and the accused - when they are questioned - are in a single chair.

The audience in the court room are all lined up together - often on benches.                                                                            

What was in like at the Last Supper - not in the painting - but at that last meal together?

What will it be like at the eternal banquet?

I like booths in restaurants.  It seems more together.

Subways and buses have seats together - also plais - but they are a bit different - we might be next to each other - but we might nt talk to each other.

What would it  be like to sit with or next to God?
