Ellen swept open the door to her parents’ living room.
Whoops, is no one here? Around this hour, her mother was
usually ensconced in one of the deep armchairs, indulging her
ambitious newspaper habit, while her father honed another of
the articles that he still wrote for business journals. As a child,
she had often watched with perplexity the silent toil of her
parents, whose lives seemed to consist of books and reading.
This wasn’t her thing at all. As far back as she could remember,
she’d found sitting still to be the worst punishment.
And ever since her younger brother moved out, her parents’
home had undergone a slow but steady transformation, increasingly
becoming a refuge of contemplation. It was certainly
pleasant and soothing to the eye, but Ellen needed more color.
And there was absolutely no kitsch, no matter how hard you
searched. In contrast, Ellen’s home involved a wild mix of the
most diverse items, which were constantly exchanged and replaced
in quick succession.
The consistency of her parents’ furnishing esthetics made a
strong impression, but all this bore no relation to her own
tumultuous lifestyle. Nor did it need to, since she only came
here to visit nowadays. Wait, what’s that? A new glass display
cabinet for her mother’s porcelain collection! Ellen had to
admit, the pale tones of the very fine wood helped accentuate
the porcelain arrangements to perfect advantage. With a
glance through a nearby window, she now discovered her
mother too, devoting herself to her rose bushes with great
care, looking very happy and contented in the process. A smile
flickered across Ellen’s face. Could it be that concentrating
on just a few important things was a worthwhile alternative
after all?
