Tools Illustration

Work always exists. Endless numbers of tools exist for various utility to address a given task.  Appropriate tools suited for a purpose.

Tools which separate, bind, store, disintegrate, move, combine, connect, clean, and measure. Tools for transportation, education, protection, to heal, harm, and repair. Tools which allow one to create, build, order, cook, write, illustrate, and trade. Tools to create music, shelter, and textiles. Tools which allow for utility transmission, illumination, sharing, comfort, leisure, and agriculture. Tools which allow one to hunt and gather, distribute, demolish, communicate, build strength, and eat. Tools with a system of parts which work together to perform a task, called machines, keep time, sense, deny and grant access, and manufacture.

Machines, both analog and digital, allow for scientific inquiry, health, and communication.

The foundational six classical tools—the lever, wheel / axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw—allowed one to hold, handle, lift, move, displace, separate, and bind.

On another level, tools are systems or processes wielded to build relationship, allow one to cope with life, advance human flourishing, share, and improve life.

It is a great blessing which God graciously gives to allow humanity the capability to develop tools and systems, and carry both possessions, knowledge, and wisdom.

What tools would you prioritize to carry on your person, hold in a small bag?
