Place

[Flood Dream, 1971 -from The Dream Collector - Arthur Tress]

"The very word 'lost' in our language means much more than simple geographical uncertainty;" the urban planner Kevin Lynch once wrote, "it carries overtones of utter disaster... Let this mishap of disorientation once occur, and the sense of anxiety and even terror that accompanies it reveals to us how closely it is linked to our sense of balance and well-being"
-quoted by Jan DeBlue, Mapping Sacred Spaces
