First pass reading was excellent

I’m not someone who builds physical spaces in a professional sense but I do put thought into the spaces I do have control over. Reading the italicized sentences and sometimes diving into the corresponding detailed paragraph was the way to go for me.

This book is making me see things in a new way. I’m noticing what feels alive and what doesn’t in the spaces around me. It encourages readers to use their intuition and that’s what I’ll do.
