RE: This New House: Micro-fiction
First of all, I'm glad you are finally there in Krakow for Steemfest. Good luck and have a nice and nurturing time! ☻
Second, your story makes me remember the chapter "Intimate Immensity" in Bachellar's _The Poetics of Space: "Shelter lures me...", says at some point along the chapter. A house is a womb; once you enter it, you feel like you're in that place you were supposed to come back some day. Your soul resonates with the house, and then we feel "it."
Thanks for the nice read! ♥
That is lovely. Thank you very much for sharing that thought, @marlyncabrera! I once lived in a house that felt sterile to me. It was brand new and a bit ostentatious. But we got the home for a song, and we were just starting our family so it was very nice to buy a new home that didn't need any work. But it never felt like home to me. We moved from there to an old home that feels like it has a soul. And I'm fairly certain it has its share of ghosts as well. (Fortunately the part about marrying a man for his money is not a true story!)
