Room….and room enough.  How do you make space in your life, for yourself, for your dreams, for another person? 

How do you create warmth and comfort and interest? 

Is that just about outer atmosphere, or is the inner condition of your soul the place from which an invitation to abide emanates? 

Isn’t that what “room” is all about?  A place to abide, be it contained or uncontained. 

And what is abiding?  To me, it’s more than living…it’s living in peace. 

I want to abide — in my house, in my work, in my life, in the world — in peace.
