All this talk of the Fiscal Cliff leaves me cold. But the visual pictures these terms evoke are fantastic! I’m imagining a house- perched high on a cliff, cantilevered out over water. Falling Water, of course! Frank Lloyd Wright’s magnificent architectural masterpiece on a cliff beautifully cantilevered over waterfalls, was a fiscal cliff, as well, in terms of a structure with both enormous building and maintenance costs. Let’s face it- artists, major governments, and everyone else in between, can fall victim to overextending themselves, their finances and their passions.
Check out my blog post Raise Your Ceiling , which was written August, 2011 when talk of raising the debt ceiling was the fiscal issue of the day. My advice: Keep conjuring up and creating lovely images in your head and home to help ease the pain. Be sure to hire a designer to keep you from falling off the cliff![]()
