Breathing space



"Look, I want to say,
The worst thing you can imagine has already
Zipped up its coat and is heading back
Up the road to wherever it came from."

—Tracey K. Smith, from Life on Mars

So does that mean the worst thing I can imagine won't actually happen, or that it already has? Also, I could dream in that room all day long, drinking in lightness and air.

  2. That IS an amazing room. Where is it, do you know?

    I think the answer to your other question remains to be seen!

    1. Steve, that room is in Antwerp, Belgium. I literally fell into it on @roomporn's insta.

  3. What a beautiful space. The partial divider at the ceiling is gorgeous!

    I don't agree with any interpretation of that quote that I can imagine. I don't think the worst thing has decided not to visit, and I don't think it has already been and gone. But I do tend toward pessimism, so I hope I'm wrong.

  5. I love the light in that room. Beautiful. I don't think the worst has already happened, but I think we are careening towards it at a speed I would have never imagined.
