That's a lovely term...I was just debating over the concept of architecture in humanities today and read this http://www.carusostjohn.com/text/tow...e-of-emotions/
I think "the feeling of things" talk to us the most when we travel or when we return. I was looking at the dark brown, woodden pirate regatta anchored in a lake bay as I was coming to work, it was a familiar view and unique, so dramatic. It is always there.

I remember the first day I saw it my mind kept bouncing between sketches and photos I had seen and this majestic curved space which somehow had a mathematically generated bird skeleton built into it. When I caught the train there every day, it was just a train station. When I go through there now I can't keep my mind off the way that the steel is constructed as if it could be articulated to exhibit motion, but someone forgot to install the drive gear.

Most of the motion in life has no drive gear. It is human to constantly look for it, or impose it.

The simple way a tree frames the space around it, or the many ways land meets the sea, or a lake.. and the patchwork of farmed fields as undulating movement of form rippling toward the distance mountains. I love seeing the mountains when I return to CH, like powerful giants shaping and structuring the land from afar. I never tire of the beauty of landscapes, man made or natural |

I get heebee jeebees from the whole "wholesomness". Such a sales pitch. Attach it to anything and sell it. So, it was ironic. I wonder what wholesome fun is, but will use it as much as I can to get something to giggle about. To start with, kayaking, playing badmin and chess are examples of wholesome fun. |

I don't know if wholesome = granola.

I don't know if wholesome = granola. | | | | | Staff and parents, yes (at least partially so). The baby, on the other hand...
As to granola: GMO free, low salt, peanut free?
I still tend to think of wholesome as a positive term, a hayride with roasted corn, baked potatoes and steaks, perhaps iced tea, lemonade.
Yes, I do sometimes think of the world as a sort of animated Norman Rockwell painting, or Wallace and Gromit film.

That's the good, old times "wholesomeness".
But I just hears it not long ago in a commercial for some amusement/outdoorsey activities far from real wholesomenes, it felt as if it became a concept used to sell whatever. "Have a wholesome snack, get yourself one of these still warm over-processed pretzels". Ykwim?
Granola - I used pejoratively, "loud green hipster". "Wholesome fun" sounds as a catchy phrase to sell...outdoorsy resorts? You don't even have to be outside there and have fun.
I like the old school idea of wholesomeness much more. What's wholesome for others..home made dinner? Playing with a ball? Crafting with kids? Why is it even used with non food related stuff, it is confusing.
