Concentrated Space Intensifies Everything

Western Kingbird, San Antonio NM, April 15, 2010

"A small, concentrated domestic space intensifies everything... It is almost more myself than I am."

A small, concentrated domestic space intensifies everything. It’s like the fire we live around—move it close together and the flame flares up, spread it apart and the fire goes out. We have always lived in small houses, but this one is the smallest and the best. Here I feel all my loose and wandering thoughts are gathered up and made whole. It is an antidote to a world of distractions. It is a world unto itself. It is almost more myself than I am.’
