I think it was fine...but I know what you mean. For me I think its funny how people seem to view sacredness as something they can set outside a door.... like it isn't present already. It's in the noticing it. Everywhere you are. In Every moment! Kazan, That's beautiful! Jean, Thanks! I think it was fine…but I know what you mean.

It's when our lives are crowded that little rituals are so important. For me the "little things" in life are the most important. Thanks so much for coming by. Diane, I agree with you and rummuser, every moment is sacred. That's the point, most of us lose touch with that fact at times. Maybe a better way of phrasing my question would be "How can I connect with the sacredness of this moment?" Thank you both. :) kazari,

I am new here. I am in love with all of you in an instant. So here goes... I love rummuser's attitude of: There is only sacred moments. Its simple...as long as you let go.... and stay open to recieving. Openess...Keep the awareness of there is only sacred moments. MMMMmmm. As for comments of the terrorists that were prayer comes in... as for the raise in conscousness of those who are not yet radiating from life as sacred existence. You see I feel many people are misinformed about what religion means... really means... they get all caught up with a a view point and don't really get the truth. The simple truth an action of its' teachings... Love of God...and an adhearance to union on a personal level with God. A unique experience with your Spiritual Creation. People want to reform Love of God how absurd is that. They feel its confining... yet is absolutely the opposite of that. As it is seperating air from the earth for you who are awe and love nature... as I do. It is as natural as what you experience out on sunny walk or ride in nature, absorbing the beauty of your sacred existence. Words as we all know sometimes do injustice to expression of that...AWE... I watch and read "the new trend spiritual talks and walks" usually they start of with this is not a religion. I usually laugh at that....what they teach is the exactly what religion is... Because people have these blocks... some negative occurance, some fear, some real learning to do...about God's Presence in their lives. God is Simple... Truth is simple.... And we often complicate that...Us Mostly by misunderstanding... ignorance... Embracing God in your life does lead to JOY.... And that precious line.. There are only sacred moments. Spirit is about life honoring practices...RELIGION! Truth is certainty! It is part of the timeless quality here. Wow….You are all amazing here… I am new here. I am in love with all of you in an instant. So here goes… I love rummuser’s attitude of: There is only sacred moments. Its simple…as long as you let go…. and stay open to recieving.

God is Simple…
Truth is simple….
And we often complicate that…Us
Mostly by misunderstanding… ignorance…

Embracing God in your life does lead to JOY….

And that precious line.. There are only sacred moments.

Spirit is about life honoring practices…RELIGION!

Truth is certainty! It is part of the timeless quality here.

Three things come to mind immediately: - the ritual of making tea in the kitchen at work. It's not a full Japanese tea ceremony (of course!) but it's a break in my day where I can be thankful for the little things. - writing in a gratitude journal before bed. Just three things, as often as I can. - lighting a candle when I get home from work. I guess all of mine are about gratitude too. kazaris last blog post..<a href="http://myrope.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/blogging-courageous/" rel="nofollow">Blogging courageous</a> My sacred spaces are very small, because my life is pretty crowded.

What I'm experimenting with is expanding that state to more areas/moments of my life. I'm an experimenter at heart. Evan,

I appreciate your commenting. I went back and found your comment quoting Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." I'm sorry I missed it the first time. I would have noted that you had already said it. Lori, I agree that gratitude is a big part of it. I was running an errand with my husband this afternoon and was almost overwhelmed by appreciation...it was just so good to be alive and doing simple things with him. Louise,

We both landed on the same Emerson quote (one of my faves) so I HAD to check out your blog. I included a link there to a trailer for a new vid coming out of an independent house here in Seattle. Figured you might enjoy that, too... http://www.totaleclips.com/player/LivingTemplesPlayer.aspx Anyway, just subscribed to your RSS. Looking forward to reading more from you!
