You've captured "life" in this essay. Beautiful. Thank you.
"...the physical buildings that shelter our lives ultimately serve only as greenhouses of our being. Inside them we grow, we bloom, and soon decay and evaporate into earth and air, along with so many of those important moments—difficult and beautiful—that cannot be framed and hung on a wall, or placed on a bookshelf, or archived for all to examine."
I live alone so my small house is my writing shed; still I think about adding a 10x12 room with view and window bed as my writing and meditation room. Designating a space to important endeavors is giving space to what needs/wants to grow in your life. Good for you!
I have this lovely little building sitting out behind my house the truly needs to be made into something. Maybe a writing house.
Got for it!

Give that to yourself!
Waiting for clarity about if I’m staying or moving
Lovely
