From the Publisher

An Open Door

Chapter One: Space at Home

The front door of a home is the ultimate symbol of personal space. The first constructed and closable doors (as opposed to mere openings in walls) were used by the Ancient Egyptians. They put simple wooden doors on dwellings and also built highly decorative false doors on the walls of tombs to allow the souls of the dead to pass through to the underworld. The Romans perfected the technology of the door – building them from metal and adding hinges and locking mechanisms. They also invented a god of doorways and thresholds, Janus, who looks both backwards and forwards at the same time.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Chapter Two: Take Your Time

I’m late, I’m late… When the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland dashes past, frantically checking his watch, he epitomizes the modern feeling that we are time-poor. Most of us feel that there is simply not the space in the day to do all the things we need to. But in reality, the present generation has more leisure than any previous one. Our problem is not that we have less time, but that we are too driven by the clock. We are so used to tracking the minutes that it is hard to imagine that people once lived in a very different way.

The Song of Freedom

Chapter Three: A Clear Mind

Birds fly freely, and in many spiritual traditions they are a symbol of the soul. Caged birds, meanwhile, are a common symbol of constriction and imprisonment. ‘The Gilded Cage’, a painting by Evelyn De Morgan, depicts a wealthy man’s wife gazing longingly out of the window. A songbird is there in the opulent room behind her, and it is clear that the occupant of the gilded cage is not only the bird but also the unhappy woman.

Expand your horizons

Chapter Four: Space in the Body

People have always gazed at the horizon, the furthest point that the eye can see, and wondered what lies beyond it. The horizon was significant to the Ancient Egyptians because it was the place from where the sun rose and to where it set at night. The hieroglyphic they used for horizon was the akhet, in which two rounded peaks cradle the sun. Some scholars also believe that the looped cross known as the ankh, which represented life and immortality, may be a stylized depiction of the sun (the loop) rising above the horizon (the crossbar), while the straight section below represents the sun’s pathway out of sight and towards the underworld.
