Sacred Place from ordinary to extraordinary

The second axiom to how sacred places can be molded is that a sacred place can be made from ordinary to extraordinary by something special happening there. I remember reading in the book about a man visiting the Vietnam War Memorial. There was no special reason he was there, just checking it out. He ended up going to the list of Veterans and recognizing someone he used to be friends with but lost contact with. He saw that he had died and realized a potential friendship he lost. This story had a great affect on me because it made me think about my friends and family. The important people you want to stay in your life you have to really try and keep it that way! That place became extraordinary to him, a sacred place.
