The space in between


I love James Records architectural design's in so many ways, but the switchback stair landing with a dramatic glass vignette reminds me of something my dad used to say all of the time.  "There is magic in the spaces in between".  As a little girl that phrase created habits like making wishes at midnight, or in stairwells or while driving through tunnels or crossing bridges.  As an adult it developed into an appreciation of the opportunities that only present themselves when you're "between" like when you're between jobs or your relationship ends or pregnant.  Times that could have been filled with such fear, uncertainty and tumult throughout my life have been met instead with a call to my spirit to pay attention, notice...and step into the currents.  Just like in the dream about the window.  I love that such a thought has a physical form in my home, a daily reminder of life's magic.  God, I miss my dad.
And this is where the lady will go.  This is going to knock my socks off every time I walk through my front door.

As if my socks weren't already being knocked off by the paneling and newel post.

This is the view as I walk out my bedroom door.  Hi Lady!
Longest hall ever.
We probably shouldn't be using the hall to store huge sheets of paneling that are full of nails should we?
