The Stuff of Life

We make choices - what we wear to what we eat, look at, listen to, drink, decorate our houses with, read... This is a list of my favorite companies and brands whose products fulfill more than just their primary purpose. They touch all my senses, they transport me in time, they make me think greater than just my existence. They are items that have story. From the practical to the pleasurable, these are the things that bring me closer to a somatic existence.  

Maybe these things are just a play on living a romantic life, but I think it's deeper than that. In this time we live now, where we could live a whole life online, I feel it is impetrative to come back to the physical, to reconnect with all our senses, to be grounded once more in our bodies. We need to surround ourselves with what we know is truth.
