More From Barbara Kingsolver

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.
Moving Dark Forever
No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. god is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. and hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.

And the fear of not being is born in that space. but in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. we do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. this conflict, this torture, is not love. thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. in that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. he seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.
Love Is Men Space
Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.
Light Rhythm Of Life Color
But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.
Fashion Past Years
Looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. it is difficult to say where one stops and another begins. the energy and space around a material are as important as the energy and space within. the weather--rain, sun, snow, hail, mist, calm--is that external space made visible. when i touch a rock, i am touching and working the space around it. it is not independent of its surroundings, and the way it sits tells how it came to be there.

What kind of competition is there in your body? suppose your brain said ' i'm the most important organ, and the liver said 'i am, and i want to go in a free enterprise-system.' you would rot away in a month, if every organ of your body, were out for itself.

Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.
