My Home Office

My cluttered home office, not lacking in confusion, says that I'm not the sort of person May Sarton described in this quote to the right that I love. But it still inspires me to work there, and I treasure the days when I don't have to go "out," but can feel like I'm in floating or swimming in a deep well of creativity, in "flow" with spirit, at home.

"There are people like wells; they become rarer and rarer in our times of diffusion and distraction, where the annihilation of distance imprisons rather than frees us as we go whirling round the globe.... There are houses that speak of intimacy and solitude, the secular equivalent of a very few churches, those one enters to know the spirit freed from all clutter and confusion, and given back to itself. Grace Eliot was such a person and she lived in such a house, for she had, by a stroke of luck, found the habitation that expressed her whole quality of being, that seemed like the concrete expression of a guarded inner life, all in depth.... she had an acute intelligence and warmth of sympathy, ... but fate continually thrust her back into herself, and she learned in the middle of life that a well is a very useful thing too; instead of having a job, or going “out,” she created a world within to which people came, as to a well of peace and joy."
