Sacredness

The great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary,
that it is to be found in one's daily life,
in one's neighbors, friends and family, in one's backyard.
-Abraham Maslow

If you love the sacred
and despise the ordinary,
you are bobbing in the ocean of delusion.
-Lin-Chi

The ordinary and the sacred
live together;
Dragons and snakes
all mixed up.
-A Zen Forest

What is the sacred?
The divine breath that animates dead bones.
-Rachel Pollack

Scared is what happened
when the sacred gets scrambled.
-Anodea Judith

Your sacred space
is where you can find yourself
again and again.
-Joseph Campbell

Wherever you are is the sacred place.
-Josh Baran

Any place is sacred ground,
for it can become a place of encounter with the divine Presence.
-David Steindl-Rast
