"Nowhere But Sajima"

Last week, I found myself fascinated by a particular oceanside residence called "Nowhere But Sajima". I realized that it's location is listed as Yokosuka Kanagawa, Japan. Given the recent tragic occurrences, I was worried it may be morbid to post this, but decided of all times, this may actually be appropriate to share with you. The talent and creativity invested in the design of this structure is incomparable, as noted by my source - Design Bureau. I do not know the condition of this home, but based on maps I've seen of the areas in Japan affected, I assume this location was most likely impacted. Note that my intention is appreciation of this design, not emphasis of the material things lost in this disaster - my mind is boggled by the immense loss of life - my heart and prayers go out to the people and communities affected.

I find that I am drawn to ideas. Whether they are brilliant, simple, or aesthetically beautiful (to my eyes), they tend to be other people’s ideas. I have much respect for people who have the vulnerability to bring their ideas to life. My first internal reaction is often envy, but then it becomes gratitude – and gratefulness for a creator that enables people to bring to life the ideas that He gives them. Occasionally though, one of those ideas is my own. They don’t come often, but when they do, no matter how small or insignificant they may be, I am humbled and inspired. This is a place for me to exhibit those ideas, mostly others – sometimes my own.
