For me, finding an empty church has become a refuge, a sacred silence where I can reflect away from the busyness of my life as a single mother.
Philip Larkin's 'Church Going' resonates with me; the desire to engage with a space that holds an unignorable silence is profound, a search for meaning.
I seek out churches not to participate in services but to embrace a certain quietness, a profound stillness that exists after the crowd has left.
My visits are a rebellion against my past; I hold no expectations and wander in search of a genuine silence, avoiding the pitfalls of intentional seeking.
