The Path to Left On
Table, floor, pendant, wall, and garden lamps — for the hour you arrive home.

Stone, timber, mesh, paper, weave — and the small lamps that stay after dusk
The child who said the room was getting gold
The path, the walk, the gold, the sofa, over plates, left on
One of our children was three when she sat by the window at dusk and said the room was “getting gold.” We were in the room. NOR is built from that moment — lamps, not a lighting aisle. Path before the key. Marble on the nightstand. A stem beside the sofa. A moon over plates. A companion you leave on. Light does not wait. We only have to host it.
