The simplest thins can, with consciousness, bring a sense of sacredness. Display a small vase with a single flower of your choice to brighten a room with life. Ligth a number of white candles, each representing one of your family members, to illuminate a corner with your loved one’s energy. Arrange a few stones, tumbled and smoothed for years in the ocean, along the center of your dining room table or stack them on your bedside table to remind you of the sea’s vast dept and timelessness. Display a beautiful piece of fabric found in a far-away shop on a favorite table to help you wander back to that stressless retreat. Even lighting Indian incense in a room where you work can rouse your spirit and inspire your senses.
Sacredness, like style, is a state of mind. What is sacred to you is a reflections of your relationship with our soul. It transcends color, form, shape, texture, and scale, and celebrates your humanity and spirit. For some, sacred is defined by gods, temples, and divinity. But to others, sacredness can be as simple and earthly as a sunset—something that is every being’s right to share every evening, regardless of religious affiliation or financial status. The sunset belongs to anyone who has the consciousness to take notice. The sacred is where you find it and what you bring to it.
