If you come here on a regular basis, you'll understand that I'm a firm believer in the power of emotional resonances generated by place. There's no question in my mind that the size, shape and order of a built space can affect the emotional states of its occupants and can influence what happens there. Like Heidegger's Hut and Thoreau's Cabin, there's got to be mystical, intimate connection between the words that found voice at Purdy's Place and the walls and woods where he and his friends found solace. If you've got a couple of bucks that you can afford to part with, pass them along.
