Footprints in the Windsm # 2124–Seeking to be heard leaves us hollow
Footprints in the Windsm # 2124
In prior centuries art and beauty were in service of, were seeking, meaning in life. As Christopher Alexander noticed with architecture, all that changed in the 20th century and architects started to make image-heavy statements, to express themselves individualistically. Psychology also became a way to personal expression. So too conversation: where before we sought family and belonging, these 20th century forces inclined us to seek ways to be heard, to find our voice. But this all leaves us feeling hollow. We are missing what would carry us above all this “look at me”—to hallow our lives. Yet this can only be found in and amongst the real world.
