There are places in the world which we experience as special. Places where we feel connected to, and at one with, what is greater than ourselves.
Some people describe these as “thin” places, where the boundary between the visible and invisible dissolve.
Some people describe them as sacred places, others as the places where we experience a “re-enchantment” with the world, with Life even.
For many people these places are buildings – constructed by others as “places of worship”. For others they are “holy places” in the midst of wildernesses, forests or deserts.
Where do you find yours?
Heroes Not Zombies 
Mostly in the presence of nature
Me too
“A thin place …” – George McLeod, who founded the Iona Community, used that phrase to describe the Isle of Iona itself. I think I’ve experienced a bit of that myself in my various visits there, whether for an ordinary holiday or staying at Iona Abbey and taking part in Iona Community programmes. A sacred place for all sorts of reasons.
