Could that be it? I wish I could see it. <br /><br />Mary- Amen. I think humankind lost a big chunk of sanity and the sacred when it moved its worship indoors.

And i said to him one of these times.. who the hell wants to be in church on a day like this when he/she could be out here enjoying the gifts of the Universe? He didn't have a clue. lol<br /><br />I love your morning view.

This would have been sacred at one time although not within the lifespan of the hollies. Yet the trees were deep in the wood on a hillside. I have often puzzled about it.

I know that your home is your heart because that's where you live with your family and I know that you live in love.<br /><br />Elizabeth- One never knows. You could come back tomorrow (and oh, I hope you always want to) and find that I've written about side boob again. Because you know me- I find breasts endlessly fascinating. <br /><br />Ms. V- I'm willing to bet the ranch that your home is as sacred as any other. Every space a holy one.

I love seeing pictures of your house, and your view, your mermaids and Madonnas, which make me think of that Tori Amos song, Marys of the Sea. And maybe eventually it will be enough to inspire me to make sacred spaces in my own home.

When I was a Catholic, you could get church over with by going on Saturday night. I'm hoping, here, that there'll be another one like this tomorrow when I come to this sacred spot for inspiration.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-54605826866449134852013-06-01T12:24:46.510-04:002013-06-01T12:24:46.510-04:00It is a beautiful sacred house and you are its yog...It is a beautiful sacred house and you are its yogi and we all come here and are spiritually nourished so yes I think you should get a tax break.
