The world is a labyrinth of places. Not all of them are hard not all of them easy. This morning families are hungry and cold in refugee camps in the Middle East. Others are basking on the beaches in Southern California.
In one place people hover around monitors and make deals; in another fires, and give up. Some hang off walls, free climbing; some pulled the covers up in warm, safe beds.
I’m given to thinking about places. Think with me. Here are my aphorisms, epigrams, and proverbs about places.
What places will you live in, build up or ruin today? Be mindful. Tread gently.
……
We become where we are.
Places make persons.
We are looking for safe places; we find them in risky places.
Bombs fall; places are ruined; people remain.
Places are handles; by them we carry reality with us.
Disrupt your space; disrupt your face.
We are defined by the spaces we make — and the ones we ruin.
Nature is best left the way we found her.
We eat from places we abhor; we drink in ones which we adore.
High is where we fall, low a place from which we crawl.
The unsafe space we create for ourselves is an adventure; the unsafe space we create for others is a horror.
God gave us nature to help us recover from the place we would turn it into.
