A mountain


A mountain. A river. A tree. A spring. A cave. A beast. Or even a cathedral, a mosque or a temple. None of these is inherently sacred. The sacred is a consequence of human faith in God or in the deep significance human beings find in their world.

It is no sin to live a life of material comfort, kindness and generosity. But the acknowledgement of sacredness in the world is a dive deep into the experience of life. Sacredness demands more than passive contemplation and worship. It demands action to bring beauty, meaning and purpose to the world.
