Dan and I were gifted Jan and Michael's farm house and surrounding land making us feel lucky and loved like you imagine a well-cared for child feels on his or her best day.
To make the house our own we did some construction to the house. Opening up rooms...raising ceilings...hanging our own artwork. Allowing us the feeling that a firm security deposit was accepted. It was becoming part of our own self-made history and future.
We had land, animals, privacy, yet at the same time we had connections. A pond, growing food, lives, space for the creation of art to be imagined, made, admired. A sense of place, ourselves, needs outside of immediacy. This land in particular was brought on so purely by a relationship of love, it is startling and stunning.
