Liz Cathey: Class Reading 2

In Lane's book Landscapes of the Sacred, the tension that can arise between a space and place is discussed.  At first, I found this to be a very confusing idea, because I did not know how two things that I previously thought to be so similar could possibly have tension.  I thought about it for quite some time and began to picture a city.  While the city may be big, it is bustling full of people, cars, building, and chaos.  There is not much "room to breathe" in these areas.  I am from Chincoteague Island, a tiny three-by-seven mile long island.  While it is a very small place, it is full of natural beauty, and absent of the crowded aspects of the city.
