simple shui | make meaning

there was once an english professor who spent an entire semester forcing his hostages students to strangle seek the symbolic meaning out of words, phrases, sentences. his stamina was unyielding, and he never veered from this take home point.

let me tell you. that left a mark.

and no matter what i read now, my subconscious is always on the prowl for meaning. symbolism. metaphorical girth.

as much as it smarts to admit this, however, those struggles opened my thinking just enough that all these years later, i see symbolism outside of words. there is kindling everywhere.

especially in our things and home. i speak their language fluently.

utter your intentions or desires for tomorrow, and i know how to anchor them metaphorically for you.

in essence, i help you decorate from your dreams.

a quick example. . .

a family of four whom i adore packed up their essentials, rented out their beloved home, and embarked on a yearlong trip around the world. the kids did a home study program while literally setting foot on every continent.

well, that idea spread like sunshine in my soul. . .

so.

i took a blank globe.

i wrote our names on it.

i placed it on a bookshelf where we all see it every single day. symbolizing an epic family adventure soon-ish. who knows when or where we will go. . .but we talk about destinations all the time. and that wonderment is just the propensity to spark something momentous!

so, ask yourself: what would i like to see happen in my life?

then, find a robust way to say that with something in your home.
