sacred place can be tred upon without being entered. michelle slosser

This is one of those concepts that makes me sad and joyful at the same time. My initial reaction is sad of course, being judgemental about "close-minded people" not appreciating a sacred mountain in new mexico, or my friend not having the deep spiritual experience at a beautiful dock that I had brought her to, since I had just had one a few nights ago. It is the most beautiful place (to me)! Every time I had gone by myself I had felt powerfully aware of life and spirit and God. But she was cold, and scared of the dark, and thinking about her boyfriend. So I had experienced this beautiful place, and not everyone can experience it unless they want to, and unless they know how to see everything (or at least a lot) in the present moment. I feel happy when I realize that if everyone had the same experience as me, it would be so crowded! And after one or two times of experiencing it, people would get bored, they wouldnt care as much, they wouldnt even go because they know the experience will always be there. So I should be glad that my sacred dock cannot always be entered, or it wouldnt be sacred anymore.
