Some things that fly there be-
Birds – Hours – the Bumblebee
Of these no Elegy
Some things that stay there be-
Grief – Hills – Eternity –
Nor this behooveth me.
There are that resting, rise
Can I expound the skies?
How still the Riddle lies
Emily Dickinson #89

I finally came to the realization that this piece of furniture was too big for my space, and after studying Japanese architecture, I decided to go low. Making all my furniture low, and that I would now be a ground dweller when out in the “Alley Artist” Studio.
The most amazing thing happened after I decided to give up my chair and sit on the floor. It’s hard to explain, but I felt a sense of freedom, I could now move around and take advantage of every corner, and even lay down. And low and behold every time I looked up, I now had an amazing view of the sky from my little red shed. I’m sure there is a lesson here to be found, in staying grounded, hah, never, my mind will always be in the clouds, even though my bum is on the ground.
