1. I
want to take a look at the third axiom, “sacred place can be tred upon without
being entered”. All semester, I’ve been contemplating on whether or not I agree
with this statement. Now, I’m starting to think that I do. Just as Lane says,
we sometimes do not even notice the sacred nature of a place until after we have
walked through it outside of it itself. I began to see this with the prayer
room where I spent the majority of my summer.
I found that I after I went from
being there daily, to going weeks-on-end of not going due to the resumption of
the collegiate lifestyle, it was easier to see it as a special place. Indeed,
it has served as a special place to me, and has been deemed a sacred place in
my heart – even though the entire location is just an old warehouse for
high-level security electronics. It has now been restored to a new look, and
provided me an outlet for rest and spiritual relocation over time. I believe
that I have come to agree with Lane’s third axiom, due to my own personal
experiences.
