As for spaces I've created, it would be my little office space, my monitor in front of a window where I see bald eagles and hummingbirds almost every day. Books along one wall. Sacred objects around me. Music sometimes playing, but not always.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-21019197271028617892010-05-13T00:18:11.502+10:002010-05-13T00:18:11.502+10:00The paintings are exquisite.
