Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Rock fireplace

[PattyMara (PattyMara]

Dear Buzz,
What a delightful post to read.  I learned many things just reading it and I
appreciate your creativity and articulate style.  This is an example of the
best that this list offers to us. I especially liked your last sentence:

>>Natural processes are the best (only?) design instructor.  since river rock
came from the horizontal, to return it to horizontal 
works well (sandstone comes from cliffs, so it works well for walls).  To 
do a "bonsai" representation of your location on earth in its former 
natural condition, or at least mimic it in a stylized way, is a great 
guiding concept for your landscape plan.

Thank you, and keep posting.
