The Thing About Names
At the foot-end of our bed is a modern wooden cube-styled wooden table on which I keep things I like to look at and that make me think.
It occurred to me yesterday that we easily judge people by what they have in their houses, and what they choose to put on display. It’s kind of an extension of Winston Churchill’s thinking when he said “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” We shape the spaces we exist in, and thereafter they often define and shape who we are, and I suspect who people think we are too.
