non-belief/sexy?
Jul 30, 2003, 22:37
I don't think that all sacred space is defined by 'belief', it can be an active, maybe ritualistic conservancy of more than just ideas. This is where conservationists (a fine example of a line blurred between 'realists' and 'the loony tree huggers') stand anywhere on this or that side of a line that maybe defined as 'having notions of sanctity'. It may be useless to save the Spotted Owl, as far as loggers are concerned, but the belief of conservationists is more far reaching than that. It all becomes subjective here, so I won't go on. Reductionists and nihilists, mathematicians and clerks all live in the same world as New Age guru's and conservationists. Some mathematicians are conservationists. It's what makes the world go round. Common sacred space may be a forest that is managed for both logging AND wildlife. I call that progress.
