Oasisby
LevTComment: I really like this image, and it's going in my faves.
I can't quite do it the justice ubique did, but it reminds me strongly of a similar oasis in my life. My wife's family has a cabin on a lake in Vermont, and we spend a few weeks each summer up there.
This cabin is where things go to "die" while still being used. My favorite spot is an easy chair of some old vintage, probably numbering in the decades. It's in the corner, with windows on both sides. While sitting there, I can't see outside, but I can hear the kids playing.
Thus, it allows me to delve into whatever I'm reading, or take a nap, or whatever, but when I want to, I can rejoin the world in an instant.
One more quick look at your picture makes me feel sorry for whoever was enjoying that book when the phone rang, or someone was at the door, or the bathroom called.
