Ah I could tell from the writing, she knows her way around words, well done. Easy, meaningful the skill distracted me from the content. But I get what you mean about houses, stability. My home has always been inportant to me, now that it is perfect, I may have to move, too expensive.I look around and attach, detach, fearing whats next
Thank you, Paula. I'm getting ready to embark on a kitchen renovation project myself. And my writing -- yes, it is an emergence. And the rooms are coming together after many structural and design choices. This is such an amazing way of looking at the world . . . cherishing the middle.
Your article touched me deeply. It offered brilliant flashes of insight into my feelings about home as a sanctuary, not just a dwelling. I too was uprooted during my childhood, moving from a war-torn country to America and living with an aunt and uncle who hated children. Having one's own home nurtures the spirit in an indefinable way.
Paula I so enjoyed this piece you wrote about renovation. It is very moving and profound. I love it. But — no surprise, I seem to love everything you write. Your writing has a quality to it that I can’t describe, but it is very appealing to me. Thanks for sharing this experience. Kathy
Yes. Emergence! Bravo to you dearest. I wish I could be there to be part of the long middle.
Looks like it will be a beautiful home when you are finished. Love your cat.
Metphors of life. Love this.

Good luck with the renovation!

Thank you for this, a metamorphosis and it is yours. Just finished SKYLARK and enjoyed it very much. Also, CIRCLING THE SUN. ❤️
Beautiful, Paula! Thank you so much for sharing this journey to home with us. What a meaningful experience, and moving post.
Thank you, dear Paula. I needed this today--as I'm housesitting (living in a long middle) in the US for the next 12 weeks.
LOVE this Paula - such a fan. Thank you for sharing this particular journey with all of us~
