“The fact that you and I are no better or worse than anyone else is simply true. The truth of love in our lives is the essence of beauty: if we can laugh, or find joy in a baby or the smell of baking bread, we are on the edge of knowing God in our lives.” livingchurch.org/covenant/2018/…

Lost savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/10/los… I lost a world the other day.
Has anybody found?
You’ll know it by the row of stars
Around its forehead bound. A rich man might not notice it;
Yet to my frugal eye
Of more esteem than ducats.
Oh, find it, sir, for me! Emily Dickinson

Perchance savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/11/per… “Sleep has become exhausting. For about 60 years “rock” status during sleep was apt. There were night terrors – every night – some caused sleep to break, but like a rogue wave, lapse back to calm sleep, the machine’s valves became, well, old.”

March savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/mar… “I got your Letter, and the Birds—
The Maples never knew that you were coming—
I declare – how Red their Faces grew—
But March, forgive me—
And all those Hills you left for me to Hue—
There was no Purple suitable—
You took it all with you—“

A Strange Invention savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/__t… “Hope is a strange invention —
A Patent of the Heart —
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out — Of this electric Adjunct 
Not anything is known
But its unique momentum
Embellish all we own —“ Emily Dickinson #1392

Nows savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/now… They lived their creations in rooms. Vermeer’s rendered world. And Emily, in her room, thru words, looking out, as Vermeer’s subjects often did: I am with them, in both rooms. They are simply alive, with me, you: like the unreasoned presence of God.

home savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/15/hom… ”I am no ‘Diver’.” For reasons circumstantial, unplanned or thought about, Emily Dickinson’s life has been filleted and opened to everyone. Birds, flowers, words, home were her life – one without an occupation. But she was fully occupied.

“a Cleaving in my Mind” savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/17/a-c… “We have had a decade of cleaving. Like 1862, when Emily Dickinson wrote this poem, the last 10 years in America had seen then, and is seeing now, existing differences become first threats, then outrages….”

Unfulfilled savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/18/unf… Unfulfilled to Observation—
Incomplete—to Eye—
But to Faith—a Revolution
In Locality— Unto Us—the Suns extinguish—
To our Opposite—
New Horizons—they embellish—
Fronting Us—with Night. Emily Dickinson #972

Space, sometimes Sacred savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/spa… “Some of us try to make the places that allow the sacred to be discovered. Like religion, school, we want to legitimize what cannot created because is not made, it is discovered. There is no kit of parts, manual, Canon or Bible.”

ROBOT BUILDINGS savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/rob… “Rampaging across all of America, these new building types are manifesting new capacities for profiting from inhuman building. What do architects do with that?#

Half & Half savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/hal… “Some say goodnight – at night –
I say goodnight by day –
Good-bye – the Going utter me –
Goodnight, I still reply –

For parting, that is night,
And presence, simply dawn –
Itself, the purple on the height
Denominating morn.”

solitary savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/21/sol… “The desire to be isolated may be protection. It may be fear. It may be healing. It may just be who you are. But all isolation is with the isolated, and all of us, knowing or not, were made, not created by us.”

“Evokes so sweet a torment” savedbydesign.wordpress.com/2026/03/22/evo… “Seeing Battersea from 20 feet across a restraint, into a century ago, and the place of moment and the mind of creator is easy, if it connects.. If you let it connect with you. That connection is just there, relative or not.”
