Life in the Little House

There is a certain type of quiet in this house that I have never experienced before. Maybe it's because it has earthen walls and floors, but we seem to be surrounded by this force field of peace when we enter and shut the door. It feels cozy and sheltering, but open, bright and cheery as well.

With no bathroom and no kitchen, it feels a bit stressful in the way that camping can feel. You are out in the woods and it's dark and it's cold, and you realize something very important/convenient is very far away. But as soon as you relax a little and find a proper substitute, you realize you might never have needed that item to begin with. This unraveling of necessity can be a bit unnerving.
