Spaces

How do we think about spaces? Here I went to the top of One World Observatory, New York.. Nineteen years ago almost to the day I was in this same space - but peering down at the streets of Manhattan, from the observation deck of the North Tower of the World Trade Centre.. Oh, how much have fallen down to the ground, and have risen again from the ashes and the construction sites of these WTC sites, in the years between? This is holy ground to many, where many had fallen into this space.. To me it is a space in the sky to visit.. Here I had stared from the sky 19 years ago, and here I am back walking in the same space.. with so much space of time gone between.. I had walked away from this space in 1996 back to my humble South African space.. And embarked on an around-the-world adventure to discover new spaces, open spaces to explore outward with trains, planes, helicopters, cars, hands, feet and heart; inward spaces, loving people, friends, family; discovering spaces on open canvases to cover with colour and design.. just to rise back into this metropolitan space on top of the Southern tip of Manhattan Island.. what is it about this space, that attracts so many to come and find some magical reward by clambering to the top of skyscraper spaces in massive concrete jungles, just to peer down at the spaces between the concrete towers? And to memorialize spaces created in the bowls of this city to those whose lives ended here..


Here I am also, to maybe find a space not yet discovered? Maybe..
