Given a modicum of ingenuity, even a wide corridor can be used to accommodate a bed. In this studio apartment, a series of hardboard arches were installed to break up the space. The softly tented sleeping alcove in the hallway cuts out the need for a bed in the living room.

The Decorating Book, 1981

To be gentle is a magnificent practice.

Gentleness is not weak, it is very strong. When you hold an infant, you must be gentle but you must also be firm. You cannot be weak or you will drop and harm the baby.

Gentleness is focused. When we are absent-minded or inattentive, we can be hurtful and damaging. It takes presence and awareness to be gentle.

At the same time, gentleness allows us to be relaxed and humorous, authentic without tension and contrivance.

Practice your gentleness.

Be gentle towards yourself. Be gentle towards nature. Be gentle towards other people.

[quinzelade]

Gentleness is restraint.
