Sacred Space

There is no spot on earth that ever became sacred until something danced there;

Maybe it was just an atom or two….

There is no place in existence that ever became sacred until something sang there

Even be it just a molecule. 

That is enough

I hear they croon all the time

some talk about the lessons of trial

and suffering

and call them necessary

for spiritual growth

some (including Jesus) hint that

falling

precedes

rising

Ah yes

There is something in that

but it is not only

pain and suffering

blood and tears that mark a space sacred

so does joy

and celebration

and love
