HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THE QUESTION MARK INSIDE?

We all wonder about what gives our lives meaning. It could be a child, a smile, an ambition, a particular hope, a love, the sun after rain, the sea, a whisper in the dark.

What are the words that describe what's important to you, and your own feelings about life's meaning? What are the words that describe your feelings about the Cathedral Building of St Paul's?

Sometimes, the simplest words can sum up the deepest feelings. Words make it possible to share the way we see the world and to discover, perhaps, that we're really not so different from each other.

By adding your words to this project, you can be part of the attempt to describe the great mystery of the question mark that lies inside us all.

  1. unconditional expression of love....
    a smile for a stranger
    a kiss for a sleeping child
    forgiveness of a wrong hard felt
    a drawing in the sand
    a song sung in the air
    something tried again after failure
    the wonder of a starry night.

  2. Love.
    Feeling loved and sharing love with others. The warmth that i feel when someone is kind to me and the warmth i feel when someone allows me to be kind to them. There is a connectedness with other people - like an invisible bond that lights us up. It feels like that moment of warmth is created and will forever be one of the lights that light up my life - woven into the days of my yearly routines. It helps me to experience the 'life' in my life.

    St Paul's represents to me a labor of love and a passion to create. Sir Christopher Wren spent most of his life creating it and it stands as a monument to man's creation, as if in a conversation with the ultimate creative life force. It is inspirational and reaches to the sky, whilst vaulted to the earth.

    Trees and leaves.
    Trees, leaves and the blue sky.

    But mostly trees.

  7. The strength of my Mum in the face of Cancer has taught me that one must never forget that to awake each day is a gift that must never be taken for granted. My Mum suffers terribly with this illness yet each day she manages a smile and a kind word. So what is the meaning of life? I don't know however I do know that Mum is just glad that she is still alive to experience it. For me I will never take life for granted.
    I could not imagine my life without St Paul's. I see it every day and it makes me feel safe every single time. Strange that...

  8. What gives life meaning is the journey, not the destination.

    And then finally, one unknown day, all will be made clear when we are in Heaven with Christ. Then we will know the meaning of life.

  9. FAMILY

    Whether that is the family you are born into, or the one you create for yourself through love, live, work and random happenstance; there is nothing more important than family to me for support, comfort, reality checking, laughter and life in general

  11. SIGH

    To feel, to feel deep, extending the moment, in longing contentment. To experiment together in unison, not leaving one another alone in sorrow or joy.
    A spontananeous YES to life which sprout from the inside as what we feel to be.

  20. It means allowing God to draw you closer to Him, through the beauty of your surroundings. St. Paul's Cathedral and its magnificent grandeur does just that. One cannot help but to feel just a little bit closer to his or her creator by gazing at the splendour found within St. Paul's cathedral.

  21. Sometimes the world weighs so heavy, it can stop your heart and breath by it's immense dark wieght.

    Sometimes the world shows us in the smallest ways that life is to savour and enjoy and those are the days we can float away like a shimmer in the sky

  22. I don't want to meander though life without any purpose.
    You have to enjoy the journey as much as the destination, otherwise would there be a point to it all?

    Sometimes we make it too hard and it doesn't have to be that way.
