Solitude and silence.
Necessary counterpoints to our frenetic lives.
Anchored in the present. In a time and a place.
A retreat to another part of the world may be part of a rhythm of rest and reflection. But shorter spaces in time are equally valuable.
How excellent it is when our homes provide these spaces for us.
- A window seat.
- A breakfast bar.
- A library.
- A chair in the hallway.
- A seat on the deck.
Nooks and crannies to escape to, be cocooned in, and pause.
