I also struggle with naming a "place" when sacred space might not have GPS coordinates at all. I can come up with an answer to a question like that, but it's never complete. :)
I agree, and it was Thomas Merton as I just finished that line being quoted by our friend, Parker Palmer. Since you invoked the great Howard Thurman into your reflection, perhaps the sound of the genuine is only activated when we're in spaces that allow for authenticity. I loved this reflection because I recently had a similar experience and my mind went blank staring at the three dots of a zoom chat. 😉
All of this is right on, Zade! Good thoughts, per usual. And yes, love that way of teaching from Thurman. I think it's time to re-read his work in this season. Much love, amigo!

Exactly! Thanks for reading and engaging over the past year, Gwen. It means so much to me!
