Why Live in a Small Room?

August 24th, 2009 by Brett Stuckel

A small room forces you out of the room. It cuts down the number of anchors you can keep. A bed, two chairs, and a desk. Clothes in a duffel on the floor. Forget A/C, put a fan in the window and bring in the world.

A small room amplifies the assertions of what you put on the walls. If you’ve hung maps, you’re that much closer. And you can only fit so big a mirror (which some would argue is healthy).

A small room demands you prioritize–which books do I need right now? One string of Christmas lights can do wonders. In a small room, it’s easy to figure out where to put what you pray to. In other words, a point of focus is easy to find.
