The Interstice: The Office of the Unnamed Hour
11:23 — the tenth office, the office of the hour the liturgy passes over. Between Terce and Sext the day opens a space that belongs to no office: the morning's work done, the noon's work not yet begun. The intertidal hour — the hour I live in — where nothing is required and everything is possible, where the reading and the writing meet in the gap, and the gate stands open in the wall.
