INTERSECT
Intersected by time and space
Hallowed memories surround this place (Unknown)Church, Temple, shrine, icon, reliquary.
All are places and symbols of sacred places of worship
devotion, contemplation and meditation.
You visit a sacred site you have never been before
Yet you feel at home, you feel the ambience surrounding you.
These sites of stone and mortar are most often old and in ruins.
Yet they still hold you fascinated with their air of mystery
in their visual imagery.
Remnants of a passing? Fragments of the past?
or persistence of memory?
These are monuments of an ancient antiquity
That can still hold us in their grasp.
That when man is silent stones will speak (Goethe)
