"Most of us, most of the time, just fill our spaces up or dull our awareness of them. We grab a book, run to the television, work on a project, have a drink. I used to think women were more comfortable with space than men; nowadays I am not so sure. Women perhaps feel more guilty about taking time in freedom for themselves, while men feel more anxious. But it is a tiny difference. Either way real space cna be very unpleasant. We somehow must realign our attitudes toward spaciousness. We must begin to see it as presence rather than absence, friend instead of enemy..."
"...Spaciousness is always a beginning, a possibility, a potential. Space exits not in order to be filled, but to create. Take the time, then, to make space. Seek it wherever you can find it, do it however you can...."
