SACRED, SACRED, SACRED (PDF-1800)

Back then, I also had a problem with the idea of the sacred. To my mind, the sacred was always outside myself, wrapped up in the “there” and the “then.” It was in my future and never now. It was there and never here. Of course, I wanted my life to be sacred, but I definitely identified more with the profane. It seemed I had no choice. The ‘sacred’ was something I wanted to get to, not somewhere I already was or even had been. I had not internalized it. As it turns out, the sacred is not a ‘thing’ at all, but more of a process, a way of living. I know, we label some “things” as sacred, but if you look into them, they are sacred because of their use, and the way they are used. Sacredness is an attitude, an approach to life.
