the lilja (made in finland)


A
functional and convenient
portable ecumenical chapel

constructed
of perforated plywood
and prefabricated timber panels

daylight
filters through
to the 3 main parts

vestibule
altar wall
and chapel space

under
a protective coating
of painted plywood where one can

contemplate
the sacred space
and the forest atmosphere &

reflect
on the meaning
of religion without symbolism

and
enjoy
the peace and Quiet

  4. ps.
    Jim, I must explain I chose the A shape to fit to the first and last words of the poem, which are the only two words with capitals. i.e. Q & A (or in my case A & Q) but your image shows the exterior which is very helpful to the reader. Ther's also a plan drawing on that site.
