In chapter 3 of “Landscapes of the Sacred,” there is a line saying “The most sacred place to us is invariably that which has been internalized—constituted as an inner beauty.” This line took to me because the third chapter is titled, “Seeking a Sacred Center: Places and Themes in Native American Spirituality.” The line got my attention, and so did the chapters title because when I think of them together it makes me realize that everyone has there own special places in the world. Nothing’s more different than an original Native American and me, but one thing we do share is how we have our individual sacred places.
Everyone has his or her own special places in nature, whether it is a pond or meadows by a stream, we all have at least one. Because of this factor, everyone is connected to nature and has their own sacred place. Even though not every sacred place is owned just by one person, the sacred place can still be considered more sacred to one person than the other. I know that in my life there are places that I see as sacred that other people might not see having any relativity.
