sometimes I think about the sculptors hands that moulded and formed the statues and then I touch the cold stone and I feel our hands meet through time and space
This home in Woodstock, New York, is like an enchanted witch’s house.
The entrance alone, is amazing.
In the large main room, there’s a huge stone fireplace, a table, and a swing.
There’s also a work area in the corner.
A family room with a children’s play area.
I’m guessing this is either a bedroom or a sitting room.
Hallway leading to the various levels.
Look at the kitchen.
Master bedroom with some fashionable wigs and beautiful vintage dressing table.
Cool bath- look at all the vintage fixtures.
Here’s a man cave workshop.
And, there’s a vintage car in the garage.
What a dreamy house.

““The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction,” an essay Le Guin wrote in 1986, disputes the idea that the spear was the earliest human tool, proposing that it was actually the receptacle. Questioning the spear’s phallic, murderous logic, instead Le Guin tells the story of the carrier bag, the sling, the shell, or the gourd. In this empty vessel, early humans could carry more than can be held in the hand and, therefore, gather food for later. Anyone who consistently forgets to bring their tote bag to the supermarket knows how significant this is. And besides, Le Guin writes, the idea that the spear came before the vessel doesn’t even make sense. “Sixty-five to eighty percent of what human beings ate in those regions in Paleolithic, Neolithic, and prehistoric times was gathered; only in the extreme Arctic was meat the staple food.” Not only is the carrier bag theory plausible, it also does meaningful ideological work — shifting the way we look at humanity’s foundations from a narrative of domination to one of gathering, holding, and sharing.”
