Coming Home

Spring is coming - even here is the heart of frozen New England we know it because there are Irish daffodils at the market and maybe even a hyacinth  and colorful bunches of tulips. Soon we will see our lawns and wash the windows. The birds will sing and gardening will begin. Now that the days  are longer and our driveways clear we are looking forward to open windows and spring cleaning - a refluffing of the nest. We will remake home as all creatures rehabilitate in spring.                                      

"When you think about it, much of the hustle and bustle of our daily lives comes down to making our homes. Nothing more and nothing less. When we turn our thoughts to how our houses should feel, we're doing something that our mothers and fathers did, and their parents before them. We are acting on the desire to get home. To a haven, a place to protect ourselves and those we love. A place for sadness and celebration,for despair and love. A place that gives us strength to go out and embrace the world. A place that is its own world.

When we make a home,we honor life and we honor its blessings." (Dominique Brown)

So, all of you in design, in life - welcome reawakening of the world, of our abilities to embrace and love all we have, love and are. I am happy that there are buds - it eases my heart.
