church
splinken i left hyde park to take a picture of st. mary's cathedral. then i thought to myself, "hey. i want to be in there".

and then i suspected that the thought didn't come from me, that it came from somewhere else.

so i don't know what to make of that. not yet, anyway.

namae Too big, people can't see behind it. Maybe it really is better this way, but I, for one, would prefer to look and be damned. 010823

kerry i was standing in the aisle and someone was holding onto me. the walls are sweeping upwards into the sky and they're ivory and smooth columns and arching to form the roof
and the carpet is red
like my church
this is the church i used to attend

and the pastors are sitting in pews

why are they sitting with everyone else?
i know they think they're doing us a favor.
i'm screaming over the din.
this little person is still holding me back but i am struggling up like a cork trying to push out of the water and i am hollering to them that they are murderers and bigots and all these other things i can't quite remember
and i meant every word of it,
at the time.

eww, churchy dreams.

Sonya One day in December of last year my drawing class went to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

We spent the whole day drawing portions of the interior. About halfway through the class the choir of the cathedral came in to rehearse their Christmas sequence. I was in awe...the realization surfaced that I had the privilege of seeing this beautiful landmark and at the same time listening to the youthful voices of these choir people as they sang Silent Night.

My charcoal stick was quite dull by the end...and I didn't even finish the corridor I was shading, but I'll remember that day forever.

I don't visit churches regularly, but I have to say they have a serene beauty to them at times that gives one a feeling of solace.

mcdougall The most breathtaking churches I have ever seen have all been in Italy. I think it is a mix of the history and the age and the size. The large cold dark rooms with ceilings which are elaborately decorated and so very beautiful; I love architecture but most of all I love old Renaissance church architecture. 030121
