    From the moment the innkeeper decided he had not a spare foot of space for a pregnant woman for whom the act of giving birth was imminent, we have had issues with space. We buy and steal space, argue about space, and even explore outer space for more space. We store stuff we don’t use but can’t get rid of in rental space. We buy things called space savers, but you need space to put the space savers because they don’t hover in space.

    During the holiday season, arguments break out over parking lot spaces. Malls and shopping centers have plenty of space to park cars, except for about a month each year when everybody wants just one spot closest to the store doors. If I had my way, stores would have two or three spaces in front of their doors just for pregnant women and the handicapped, and then about twenty feet of no parking area and the rest of the cars parked beyond that. We’re all fat and could use the exercise.

    And if you’re saying, “There go the malls; everybody will shop online,” I already thought of that. Just now. I’m not changing my stance. Amazon will never be able to deliver it immediately, so if people want it, they will go out for it.

    So the savior of humankind spent his early life in a space reserved for domestic livestock, and we have issues with space? Stand aside and remember that we own nothing and can’t take it with us. Coincidentally, the words material and maternal only have one letter different between them. Care for the space you have, and don’t clutter it. And give room to pregnant women.
