A response to the Moments article (9 Sept. 2012) Getting to grips with space by The Rev Sande Ramage
Spacious Living.
Why do we tolerate, create, celebrate,
engineer such noise
materialise emotion’s freight?
Why did Victorians in their towns
create green commons
parks, recalling downs?
Why does hush of temple or
cathedral evoke tremor,
and soulful awe?
Why might prayer-like ‘inner space’
be disturbed through
given, fragile grace?
Words birth life
meaning’s sound.
Thoughts release freed
living space.
Light relieves shadow’s
darkening ground.
