What must be valued–spaces where … thought, sunshine, flowers, intangibles, necessities, time, freedom … are held.
“What must be valued
I’m learning,
in clarity and in error,
are spaces
where
feelings are held.
Here—in a poem?
And elsewhere”
– Jenny Johnson, Spaces
“Thought, sunshine, flowers: they wanted intangible as well as tangible goods, pleasures as well as necessities, and the time to pursue them, the time to have an inner life and freedom to roam the outer world.” (Solnit, Orwell’s Roses)
