Sacred Space
Sacred Space
How to make a sacred space:
take one courageous step
on your scared, limping feet;
open the quiet parts of your heart,
share your primal wounds,
your most shameful compartments.
Go back as far as you can go,
make a complete list of them;
put your secrets in pen,
read the list to a circle of listeners
that knows the sound of tearing bread.
The air will turn holy,
water will flow from your wounds
and wash your brothers clean;
the Spirit will smile and say,
“Now you are one of us!”
Remember this place,
so you can find it again.
