Physical space is the space of the steel Gingerbread Man and my dogs and my body, objectively experienced, and the physical event of moving us together in ritual. It is the space of my body as the determinant of my existence in the world. It is the space of my sense, of the feelings I feel when I interact with the Gingerbread Man and the dogs and the earth. It is me, bigger than the dogs, smaller than the Gingerbread Man, infinitely smaller than the land. It is the land close and the land far away. It is a quiet and a noisy space. It is a space that smells of winds and of the earth.
