i would love to read a book in this room housing ana's collage (photo by nadja stemmer).
perhaps the pages will transport me to a classroom in the school of restauration arts at willowbank (photo taken by achim hering) in ontario, canada. i am their star pupil.
or, maybe, i will watch the young blushing nun occupying this room (image from marie claire maison). she brushes her brown hair and writes her mother a short letter. she sleeps here every night until a midnight in june when she runs away through the fields of grapes and wildflowers to the open arms of her forbidden future lover.
then i close my book (which is apparently the mundane tale of a student who fixes up old homes and furniture or a cheesy romance novel), admire ana's collage one more time, walk out of nadja's room and back into my living room where i sit and type on my computer.
