Sometimes along the way I feel as though we have tampered with the soul of this old house
but often to it, I make humble and earnest apologies
in the form of
in the form of
~*~
making sure there are artisans who care as much as we do
embracing what came before us
while creating the things we love for how our lives here will be
building upon its old foundation to make it better today and for many many more years
with things not seen by the eye
putting our mouth where our money is
living and I mean really living
through the seasons
placing the simple organic treasures I find in a place of prominence
constructing to make up for the destructing
nurturing what was here
dreaming about it what's to come
caring and sharing
and most of all
adding to it
soul
my own soul
our soul
