Detroit hustles harder.

It’s often easier to write in a small room. Your mind will find it easier to engage with itself in mappable surroundings; you can take it in, conceive of it, in a glance. Yet a big empty space filled with stuff, a library let’s say, can give a feeling of intimate space. And a smallish, empty room might give off echoey empty vibes that could distract. 

Any mental activity requires a conceptual space and an actual, physical space. They interact. Six hundred years ago Meister Eckart wrote, “compassion means justice.” 20c poet, potter, and teacher M.C. Richards, noted: ”Acceptance is part of love. It is devotion to the whole.” 

By freeing ourselves from evaluation we can attend to and nurture perception. We can then participate in the centering activity that is the cosmos. We immerse ourselves in the spaciousness of creation. Roominess is a centering space filled with love and compassion.
