When we were in London in September of '24, Mary and I did a lot of walking, like most tourists do. One of the places we visited was St Dunstan-in-the-East, a cathedral first built in 1100, midway between London Bridge and the Tower of London. Burned out, rebuilt, bombed out, overgrown, and eventually left in a state of arrested disrepair, it stands in quiet dignity short steps from London's hustle and bustle. This silent alcove is one of several spaces of respite in a backchannel of time.
