“Postcard from Chautauqua

What is it about porches? Located at the intersection of home and world, a porch is liminal space. Betwixt and between. Neither here nor there. A porch straddles public and private, indoors and outdoors. As such, a good porch is an inviting space that welcomes resident and guest to a meeting place where both can be enriched by each others’ presence in the presence of God’s creation.
