Space has no room, time not a moment for us.
We are excluded.
In order to be included to help our homecoming
we must be gathered into their meaning (we are
the subject as well as the object of architecture).
Whatever space and time mean, place and
occasion mean more...

...For space in our image is place, and time in our
image is occasion.

quite an emotion.
