Space

by Ruth Isenberg

Space can have a multitude of meanings. To a Trekkie, space is “the final frontier,” a place to explore where no human has ever been before.

An astronomer would define space similarly. Space is the vast galaxies that surround our earth. It’s everything outside and unknown.

Space can mean room to grow. When we have enough space, we have a place for everything in our lives. We aren’t crowded with too much in too small an area.

Personal space is the invisible border we set up around ourselves. Family and close friends can come inside, but we get very uncomfortable when someone we don’t know or like gets too close and invades our personal space.

Mental space allows us room to expand our thoughts, to use our imaginations, to see things in new ways and from the perspectives of others. In some ways, this kind of space implies time as much as it does distance.

Summer at The Lake involves crowds and company, but it also creates chances to appreciate space—sitting apart on a porch or a dock, gazing at the night sky, and enjoying our space.
