I spend the time for two or three breaths for each focus.

    Sitting in meditation and contemplation with the Word For the Day & reading responses to the question set the tone of my day. Looking out my window & observing the blueness of the sky, the different hues of green places me with the Sacred. Thank you all. ???

    Gardening is one thing that I find sacred. Digging in the soil, planting, dividing, caring for my plants daily connects me to the miracle that is Nature.

I find the sacred in Nature.

  • Julia Elena

    Constant awareness of God in everything; taking the time to sit and meditate

  • Michele

    Lighting candles. Meditating.

  • Eddie

    The first thing I thought about was laying on the ground outside and looking at the sky. I often do yoga outside in the morning and take time to breathe and stare at the sky. One day last week a Bald Eagle was soaring along so I tracked it across the sky. For me, taking the time to connect and observe nature is a ritual that connects me to the sacred.
