Sacredness Quotes

“I'm not in search of sanctity, sacredness, purity; these things are found after this life, not in this life; but in this life I search to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love and to lust, to be so human.”
― C. JoyBell C.

All phenomena are processes, connections, all is in flux…have the mind screens knocked away to see there is no real edge to anything, that in the endless interpenetration of the universe, a molecular flow, a cosmic energy shimmers in all stone and steel as well as flesh…”
― Peter Matthiessen, The Snow Leopard

― Christopher Dines, Drug Addiction Recovery: The Mindful Way

“I have noticed that this hell we are in is purifying and refining the edges of my mind and heart. And then it made me think: what if that's what hell really is? What if everyone who goes to hell, goes there to come out purified and refined? What if it's just a stopover? What if nobody is ever really left there? What if everything, at one point, becomes, or is, utterly holy? (Don't chastise me for my thoughts, for I am never afraid to think.)”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Goddess knows, what it is, in the depths of our Souls. As a river shall flow, our directions too unfold. Goddess knows the birth as the death opens our Souls to divinity within our sacred whole.

Souls know, Love knows, Goddess knows:

Into the earth, 108 feet deep, all goes which does not bless us.

Bless your mother, daughter, lover, wife-
For Goddess so delights when your birth breeds insight.

108 feet deep- Goddess knows within that which we weep, our Soul reaps.

Love yourself, love others, be honest, kind and loving-

Stay in the light for it is so bright. Goddess knows and blesses our Soul.”
― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul

“For Zin, it felt like the center of space and time, in that moment. As if the whole of the universe began and ended here, and there was nothing more central. It was a hallowed moment.

An energetic, circular hoop of energy and prayer in the form of tribal dancers.”
― Ruth Ann Oskolkoff, Zin

If her desk were indeed an altar, it was a shrine not to God, but to words.”
― Martha Ackmann, These Fevered Days: Ten Pivotal Moments in the Making of Emily Dickinson

The wall is a sacred place. Containing layers and layers of joy and pain, it is a collective scream on the voice of humanity; it is raw, vulnerable, and real.”
― Felisa Tan, In Search for Meaning
