How does Sacred Space open within me? Often, I look to the sky, the sea, mountain tops, sweet sunrises and sunsets, at moonlight, in candlelight, in chapels, cathedrals, or forests to find Sacred Space. Where are the places that take your breath away, even if you are not standing there? How has time stopped for you, in moments of joy, wonder, and connection? What happens inside you when you remember those moments? What do you understand about how that makes your feel? How do you learn you can return there over and over, whether or not you can afford plane fare? Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Ask for that memory. Say "Yes." Feel your soul unlock and open wide. Enter your Sacred Space and feel ALL that wonder flow in and through you, over and over again. Where am I? In sky, fields, oceans In molten lava forming continents In a sneeze that decimated tribes In the whisper of goodbye, and the cough of birth, clearing lungs for a healthy squall. What connects me to before and when? Stars, tides, seasons, images and genes of ancestors’ smiles, dances, prevailing against winds, struggling, shoulders against wheels, breaking ground, one deep plunge into birth, life, milk, teeth, blood, and love. Everything is sacred. Everything is limited to attention that I give. Everything eternal waits for me to see It is Presence. Everything creates itself with my voice, saying, "YES."
