A Statement about Building New Houses:
Imagine yourself as a living house. Goddess comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what She is doing. She is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently She starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is She up to? The explanation is that She is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but She is building a palace. She intends to come and live in it Herself.

Of course I give credit to Z for helping too.
