Little Painting No. 5

Little Painting No. 5

A home keeps you warm inside and that’s why it’s a hearth. I have many pillows on our καναπές so I can sit and snuggle with Volver our cat. From here I can see outside the door with its blue curtain that moves with the breeze and lets in fallen bougainvillea petals. It’s here where I drink my morning coffee as I look at my neighbour’s trumpet vine. Home is where the heart is and my home is here.

This is the Big Bed at La Sussurrata, our home on Paros. The sheets are old and worn and would have many stories to tell if they were to speak. The mended pillow cases have absorbed our night-time dreams but don’t know how to explain them. And on this bed we have exchanged our physical love, a love that acts like glue when our ideas divide us. Insomnia is a land to be kept far away because it hides happiness.

Our front porch is a window that faces the outside world. We often eat there in the spring and say “Kalimera” to our neighbours when they pass by. We have big pots where we grow bell peppers, geraniums, and cacti (that I’ve recovered from displaced pads). We also grow parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme who enjoy sending vibes to Angeliki’s canna lilies across the street. Love your plants and they will love you.

Little Painting No. 2

Our terrace is my personal paradise with its wrap-around bougainvillea that isolates us from the rest of the world. The faded stripes of the sofa coverings remind me of passing time. The pallet table is on wheels and moves when given a direction. And I love all the potted plants with whom I’ve become best of friends. The flowers attract bees and butterflies…sometimes it’s easy to be happy.
