I have long admired Frank Lloyd Wright. I have been to Taliesen East in

Spring Green, Wisconsin, his gravesite, his Oak Park home and several

other places. Today, it was a blessing to go to Taliesin West in

Scottsdale, Arizona. I remember the sign over the Oak Park, Illinois,

fireplace which said, "Truth is life. Good friend, around this

hearth-stones speak no evil word of any creature." Wright's houses had

no closets, no attics, and no basements. One was to become a part of the

view. Taliesin means "shining brow." My favorite room was the living

room filled with a picture window covering one whole side. Spacious.

Broken into separate sections, made of stone, with the centerpiece the

fireplace. A room to speak no evil of any creature.
