sometimes you see something so beautiful you stop in your tracks?
Goodness yes! Many times over, there have been moments during peak hour (I work in the city) and people are just racing past one another, like packs of hungry wolves. All dashing around, cutting in front of one another to be the first on their train/tram/bus/mode of transportation. And there are rare times when I will see the sun set, and radiate this beautiful rainbow of colours, and I can't help BUT stop and cherish the moment. There is something strangely soothing about being the only person in a sea of busy and rushing people, to stand still and absorb the moment, blocking out the hectic emotions running by you. Not sure if you've ever felt that, but that line definitely resonated with me.
:) Space and light are my (and my partner's) two highest desires in a house/apartment. Sunlight on my skin is so nourishing, and I crave earth's warmth like I do sleep & food..
That's one thing I love about my house...growing up, I lived in a semi-detached (glorified rowhome) with so very few windows, and never on more than one wall of a room (sometimes no windows at all, or sometimes facing the brick wall three feet from some of the windows...ugh). I now have windows everywhere, and my one bedroom window faces East. It's wonderful, especially since I also get the boon of so very many trees for such a relatively small yard, but they skirt the edges so they don't block any light from the house. I will miss this house when I move. It's a wreck, but it has such a perfect layout.
I'm the opposite - when I'm exposed to any amount of sunlight, I can just feel myself shriveling up and wilting immediately. Which is inconvenient when I'm trying to garden in a yard where there's no room to grow shade trees.
You could grow plants without light, though, if you wanted. It's just a matter of choosing plants that like those conditions. Peace lilies are a good choice - they need a lot of water and very little light, so a windowless bathroom that gets steamed up during showers is always a good place for them.
