More feng shui (sort of)

I'd been wondering why--after many years of passing (but not passionate) acquaintance with feng shui--I have recently begun to focus on it much more attentively.  Then I came across this line from the American poet Wallace Stevens:

I am what is around me.

Stevens is a fascinating character, because his ordinary life (as an insurance executive) seems so far removed from his poetic investigations.  His best-known poems, such as "Anecdote of the Jar" and "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" speak to the intersection of imagination and matter.  Read them.
