Driven by our fears the primal response
Is to look for somewhere to hide...
To feel safe and warm
In our seclusion. They won't save us, this
Thin layer of paper between us
and others, just help us be a little less afraid.
Sunlight and color, no need for curtains
and the moonlight can come in!

All the windows in my house are covered and it feels like a safe warm womb.Bonnie Schofield
