Rules for Sacred Space

                          

1.     It can be anywhere.

2.     It might have a road through it.

3.     You must find it for yourself.

4.     You must spend time there.

5.     The more time you spend, the more you will:

                 see,  hear,  feel,  smell,  taste.

6.     You must be still!

7.     You must be quiet.

8.     Do not have ego.

9.     It is good to be:  old, female, plain-faced, unfashionable. These help to make you invisible.

10.  Stay until you see, hear, feel, smell, taste something new

                 and amazing.

11.  Stay longer than you planned.

12.  This sacred space is now yours.

13.  Give great thanks.
