In honour of the sacred
Awe, that feeling that renders us speechless, that brings us to our knees, is a response to the sacred.
When we lose the thread with all that is sacred we lose the thread of all that keeps us humble.
The sacred, the mysterious, gives us a place to not know, not understand, not comprehend.
Our puzzle solving impulse seeks to unpick the sacred into explainable pieces.
But like a drop of mercury, the sacred defies us.
If humans do not have a mystery greater than self then we become a void, hollowed out into nihilism.
