Hello Dear One,

Rolling around in me ….
What is the nature of sacred?  And when does if deserve a capitalized “S”?

For 20 years Kenneth and I have named the couples’ retreat we offer “Sacred Loving”.  And I  chuckle when I think “But isn’t ALL loving sacred?”

Today, when I read Orland Bishop’s quote,  “Nothing is made already sacred.  It becomes sacred when we give our attention to it at a level that reveals what it holds as energy and information”    I wondered, “maybe everything, just by the grace of its existence, IS sacred;  but it’s sacredness isn’t revealed to me until I bring that exquisite quality of attention to it.

So, how DO I hold sacredness in my life?  What a luscious question to ponder with my heart, belly and thoughts.

From outside I hear kiddos screeching with delight as they playfully tease each other.

Below my window I see a toddler giving his mama kisses while she’s attempting a yoga pose.

And, in this moment, I know the nature of sacred.  I know the nature of Sacred.

Seeing You With Sacred Love,
Sharon

The sacred is not in heaven or far away. It is all around us, and small human rituals can connect us to its presence.  And of course, the greatest challenge (and gift) is to see the sacred in each other.
