​Sacred Space
Take the journey.
Laughter, open hearts and lots of Love.
We all need to take the time to create Sacred Space in our lives.
It's very important for us individually and as a planet.

What makes you come alive ?
I once had a very profound experience. I was driving down the road on the Massachusetts turnpike listening to Andrea Bocelli. I was so deeply touched that I broke out in a burst of tears and began to cry. I don't mean a few teardrops out of the corner of my eye, I broke down and cried hard. In that moment I was totally alive, and totally in the moment. My senses were flooded with the passion of pure emotion untouched by past or future or thought of any kind. I was transported to the depths of my soul and I was fully alive. There have been times I have laughed from such a deep part of my being that I hardly recognized the sound of my own laughter. And yet other times that I looked into the eyes of a stranger and fell in such deep Love that even the experience of Love that I felt at the birth of my own child was not greater. Harry Truman once said, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive”. There is no end to the depths of our aliveness.

Once an anthropologist went to Africa. He gathered a group of tribal children around him for an experiment. He put a bunch of sweet fruits into a basket under a tree, and took all the children to a point away from the tree. "Whoever runs there and gets the fruits first wins the treats!" When he shouted "Go!" all of the children grabbed each others' hands and ran together to the tree. When they arrived, they sat down and shared the fruits with each other. Puzzled, the anthropologist asked them why they had joined hands and run together, when one of them could have had all of the fruit for themselves. "Ubuntu," they said. "How can one of us be happy if the others are sad?" Ubuntu in the Xhosa culture means "I am because we are."
