Sacredness

"When humans participate in ceremony, they enter a sacred space. Everything outside of that space shrivels in importance. Time takes on a different dimension. Emotions flow more freely. The bodies of participants become filled with the energy of life, and this energy reaches out and blesses the creation around them. All is made new everything becomes sacred."

Life

sacred ground

everywhere

bush burning

flames flicker

and

we humans

walk around 

zoned out

spaced out

stressed out

not seeing

not sensing

just going through the motions.

Every so often

it happens

we sense the ground on which we stand

is 

what "they" call Holy

we see a sense of different

and

we stop

stop long enough

to see

tiny filaments

surrounded by yellow crowns

atop 

thorn like stack

finished off with petals atop a stem

and

for 

just a moment

it happens...

that strange thing

when the world suddenly stops

and we 

stand 

in our awe-stricken trance 

allowing us to

embrace the sacredness of everyday life.

May each of you

take a moment 

to 

allow the warmth of the flame

to invite you 

to stand for a moment

to feel your smallness

in the world

and

try 

to capture

best as we humans can

a small sense of

the Mystery...

and

be changed.

Wishing all of you

a barefoot

encounter on

sacred turf...

Happy Tuesday

and 

Hugs...
