The third window in a traditional anchorhold opened onto the street or garden of the town or village where it was located. Here the people could visit for spiritual direction for council. Here the anchoress made her contribution to the spiritual welfare of her community. As certain anchoresses became known for their writings or council, such as Jullian of Norich, a visit to their anchorage became a valued destination and added prestige to both the church it was attached to and the community it served.
Through my third window, I offer you the gift of my contemplative thought, imbued by the compassionate presence, and yielding, my creative outpourings, and in the future, a curated selection of the endeavours of others.
