Places and Me
Places and Me
I feel walls breathe. I feel like doors smile. I love windows with curtains because they are naughty and play with me and the wind all the time. The houses I have lived in are like people; they listen a lot but don’t speak, just like me. Guess what? I have even secretly named houses I have lived in. Places are actually like people; they live, listen, love, feel just like us. I enjoy communicating with places. Have you tried this?
