How We Live
“This is a time where our inner voice is calling to be heard, we know we know, now is the time to actually listen.”

The way we live in this world has shifted, moved to a simpler and more intimate place, our homes and even to our deeper selves. We are in a time of forced contemplation, a time to reflect on who we are and where it is we need to go. This is a time where our inner voice is calling to be heard, we know we know, now is the time to actually listen.

“How we live in our homes, is how we live in our hearts and minds, how we calm the inner rattle by way of touch and visual splendor.”
As humans, we are gatherers, we collect for our homes, our bodies, and those within our circles we cherish, all to appease our emotions of love, gratitude and the wonder that life brings. This settles our minds and eases our bodies as we traverse forward, attempting to make sense of this new terrain. How we live in our homes, is how we live in our hearts and minds, how we calm the inner rattle by way of touch and visual splendor. It is by way of the hand created that we find solace and inspiration, where we connect not only with our innate emotions but those of others. It is through the evidence of the hand that we find truer meaning: our stories told and stories held sacred.

“Beauty in all its complexities, is our way of seeing and expressing, holding life where we need it, by way of hand, heart and eye.”
We all have memories attached to all we hold dear, they act as journals, books that tell stories of history and the present: sonnets of love and hope. Again, this is why we collect, why we bother to design our homes and lives, to ground and to hold us, give weight to our feelings of levity in times of uncertainty, fears and doubt. Beauty in all its complexities, is our way of seeing and expressing, holding life where we need it, by way of hand, heart and eye.
