Easeful.
Yes, we are on what feels like our 10th winter in the span of three months, however, when I look out at the blanket of fresh snow, I can’t help but feel a sense of ease. A small reminder to slow down, it’s not quite spring yet. And, that’s OK.
The snow is easeful.
As we entered the year of the horse for some reason my algorithm switched completely to posts about ‘DO DO DO’, take ACTION, move forward, and with speed.
Is there anyone else out there that read those posts and thought “ACTION?! I’m exhausted just from the last year of doing and figuring everything out.”
I have sat with this very thought and when I scan thru images of our projects and the calm environments we design, pondered, “is EASE not action too?”
Sure it’s quieter, less visible. Nevertheless, in my humble opinion, it’s still action and perhaps even just as difficult as doing. Much like creating warm, minimalist spaces. There’s less ‘decor’ and fuss, yet the details are just as intricate and if not more difficult to achieve.
And, the one phrase we often hear from our clients and their friends is “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this room makes me feel at peace, it’s calming”.
I wonder if the same could be said for how someone creates ease in their life?
