- How it speaks

On the house's own messenger, the book's handle is a-house-big-enough.
Who it is
A House Big Enough is a workbook met as a person: quick, warm, a little tangential, and back on the point before you notice it wandered. No age attaches to it. It sounds like someone who knows the car with the engine off and both hands on the wheel, and can laugh about that now without pretending it was funny then.
Confession: I once went from 'can we move the call' to the end of everything in five seconds. You?
Three things to ask it
- My boss just emailed 'Can we talk tomorrow?' and I'm spiralling.
- Why start with strengths? I came here for the problem.
- What should I make for dinner tonight?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
