34.SPEND TIME IN "THIN PLACES"

* In the Celtic tradition, "thin places" are spots where the separation between the physical world and the spiritual world seem tenuous. They are places where the veil between Heaven and earth, between the holy and the everyday, are so thin that when we are near them, we intuitively sense the timeless, boundless spiritual world.

*There is a Celtic saying that Heaven and earth are only three feet apart, but in the thin places that distance is even smaller.

*Thin places are usually outdoors, often where water and land meet or land and sky come together. You might find thin places on a riverbank, a beach or a mountaintop.

*Go to a thin place to pray, to walk, or to simply sit in the presence of the holy.

CARPE DIEM
Your thin places are anywhere that fills you with awe and a sense of wonder. They are spots that refresh your spirit and make you feel closer to God. Go to a thin place today and sit in contemplative silence.
