Poetry

Poetry is the passionate (though not always pithy) heart and soul of Rosslyn Redux. A through line. The singing underneath. For me, at least, poetry is the point. (Susan's view may differ somewhat.)

My desire for us to purchase Rosslyn, to dive into her historic rehabilitation, to jumpstart our own personal reimagination and revitalization by way of transforming our old-house-new-home, and to embrace the adventure and inevitable misadventures come hell or high water (the 2011 flood…)?!?! Yes, all this was poetry.

It’s what guides my life and lifestyle decisions, design and architectural decisions, my storytelling (from blogging to haiku to illustration) decisions… It’s the navigational compass that serves my wonder. It’s the connective tissue that offers integration and cohesion. It’s the lyrical lens that lets me see.
