Create a niche for esoteric things, Sins, and twine ivies and other green things around. Add a bowl of water that reflects, maybe add a couple of little frogs. I like the idea of salvaging the form.

Years ago I resisted buying a cast concrete statue. It's a good thing I did because I have never landed in a permanent place since then, and lugging that statue around would have been major. It was heavy.

It was of a nude woman's form held high in two large hands; even the indentation in the buttocks' flesh showed clearly. It was well done, and there was such an air of peace, of serenity, of timelessness. I no longer even remember whether there was a head on the woman and I don't quite remember why it was so memorable to me. But it was.
