On The Border

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Here I sit in a hotel bed pecking away on my iPhone one letter at a time as we are getting ready to head to Canada for a few days.

I have never in my life found a perfect work space. My last five years of working from home I had a great set up with a nice chair, keyboards, surrounded by books and music.

Now retired, I don’t go there often as it is one of the colder rooms in the house and mentally it feels like going to work.

I also have an art room as well. It is filled with colors, paintings, supplies and cat litter boxes. It has its time and place but it is currently cluttered.

I am so spontaneous that many times work spaces find me. Sometimes nature is my perfect work space.

Vijay one day wrote about the perfect space and it is the perfect piece about a perfect space. It was recent but I couldn’t find it.

    This is a wonderfully honest and relatable reflection. I love how it embraces the idea that a “perfect space” doesn’t have to be fixed or polished—it can be found, improvised, or simply arrive in the moment. The contrast between structured rooms and spontaneous spaces, especially nature stepping in as the ideal setting, feels deeply true. It captures the freedom of retirement, creativity on the move, and the quiet wisdom of letting workspaces find you rather than forcing them. Beautifully thoughtful and warm.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
