ABSTRACT
Light, of course, always has possessed a numinous, symbolic significance. ‘I am the light of the world’ says Jesus, for example, in St John’s Gospel, and in common clichés it resonates: ‘Let’s shed some light upon this’ is a significant cliché. Goethe’s attributed last words (‘Mehr Licht!’, More light) give us all pause. What, though, about the numinous in something ordinary? What, for example, about bicycles? What follows are notes I made after an exciting session with children and bicycles in a lovely school called Tacolneston, Norfolk.
