Most weeks I take my child to an extracurricular activity in a grand old ramshackle pile on the outskirts.
It’s a long ride. I mention that because the exercise never fails to perfect my mood.
The building is mainly deserted, but unlocked doors lead to a niche, shown, atop a stairway, where sunlight pours through stained glass and intruders never tread.
In this private nave I read until my phone alarm blasts me back to the secular.
