"When you look, do it with love."
Earlier this month, during a trip to the U.K., I had the opportunity to visit the 鈥淏alancing Barn,鈥?a shiny, stainless steel-clad modern holiday home that is suspended over a nature reserve in Suffolk. This contemporary house, which looks a little like a train going over a cliff, is 30 metres long with 50 per cent of the building cantilevered over the edge of a hillside. Designed by the Dutch firm MVRDV, the Balancing Barn takes its shape and inspiration from local barns as well as the 鈥渉anging houses鈥?in Amsterdam, and is meant to create a playful, memorable holiday experience.
I still get goose bumps as I recall Kathy sharing her moment of insight with me. 鈥淭he father reaches his professional coaching goals,鈥?Kathy relates, 鈥渂ut at the price of becoming more distant from his children. In one scene, Steve Martin realizes that having his dream is meaningless without having the closeness of his children in his life.鈥?At the moment in the film when the dad decides to bridge the gap with his children, Kathy decides to bridge the gap with her brood. The way Kathy chooses to create harmony between herself and her kids instantaneously transforms her family. In a split second, Kathy elects to move back to Chicago. Upon leaving the movie, the family goes home and packs up their belongings. Two days later, the reunified family makes their way back to The Windy City.
