Sacred

I recently visited Bangkok. Opposite our hotel is a beautiful wooden temple, and nearby there is a centre for contemplation in a small park. You don’t have to be religious to recognise the importance of such sacred spaces. Sacred, from Latin, simply refers to something pure, or set aside. These are places where we can engage in worship, a word from the Old English worth-ship; hence where we can reflect on what is worthy or worthwhile. Sacred places allow us to focus on what is important and meaningful in our lives. Where do you find your sacred space?
