Say It With Roses

“There are those
who spend lifetimes in houses
that have nothing to do
with who they really are.
They may be perfectly designed,
yet if they fail to reflect
the personalities of the people
who live in them,
the very essence
of intimacy
is missing
and this absence
is disturbingly visible.”

~Rose Tarlow
