The Offer The Option and Thank You Video

i was offered
several times
of a great place to live...
   
House At Dusk, 1935, Edward Hopper
       
a mansion,
a palace,
a villa,
as we may call it.

but I am happy
that I did not grab the bait.

       

for I know,
for them to keep it,
i will be there all by myself,
most of the time.

I would rather be,
and I am glad to have chosen
our simple man's place
just enough space
for the two of us,
to live happy and
contented...

  3. Excellent and wise words. Better to live in a small cozy home with the people who are important to you than to live in a big empty home waiting for them to return from hard work to keep you in that home.
    And kudos to you for your blog!

  5. Loved your interpretation of the house. A house isn't a home unless it's shared with those we love and who loves us, really?
    Congratulations on blogging for a year!!

  8. being alone with just enough room for two can sometimes be the beset thing for a relationship because it's so much less complicated

    neither good nor bad
