I'm sorry for subjecting you all to my recent musings but I think they are slowly approaching a point. 

1. The Space of Art
2. The Space of Memories 

Space. What do you all think of when you hear that word? Immediately I think of a void. Blackness and the universe, infinity and nothingness, emptiness and fullness. I think of the range between poles, opposites and attractors. 

What I think space comes to has almost everything to do with imagination. Space is wherever and whatever and whoever and whenever we put it. There's the space of my desk right now and the space of the room I'm sitting at, the space of my spatial musings, and the space of all of yours. The space of this post, the space of thinqon, the space of this morning and the space of the whole day. Everything has the potential to be imagined as an entire space or as a unit in a space. Everything can at once be imagined as both a macro and a micro. 

I think this understanding of space is essential in our relationships. If we think of our relationships as houses then we begin to see practical means by which we can keep our houses in order. Think about the people you hold dearest and think about what kind of structure you share with that person. Is it a house, is it a cave, a playground, or shady grove? As we go through the relationships of the everyday we are constructing space whether we know it or not. The human brain can only relate to time as chronological. And so by the necessity of a linear existence these artificial (arguable?) spaces must change. Exactly how they change depends on how we tend to them. It's exactly like a house, if you let certain parts fall into disrepair, then eventually the whole house might collapse. I think it has a lot to do about Morgan Milford's post about renewal. Only I would use the words foundation and base to describe how we should think about the infinite spaces that comprise our existences.

again, I'll ask you what you think about the word space? How and why is it constructed (invented)?
