I always think a hallmark of healing is when we can recognize that, “This, too, shall pass”.

I have often marveled at the very same ingenuity. Reminds me of my first (and only?) experience of living on my own. Years ago, I rented a 540 square foot studio apartment with a Murphy bed. It was a true minimalist experience. Every single item that I owned not only had a designated home but also had deep significance in my life - from basic necessities to my most prized possessions. That era in my life is perfectly aligned with your concept of sacred spaces. Mine was a place of refuge and order that provided a safe dwelling for me in an otherwise hectic and unpredictable existence. Back then I was working as a straight-commissioned retail/commodities broker in the days before and after the market crash of October 1987. Not that different than the financial markets we are observing today. I am so intrigued with the work you are doing and look forward to your updates and observations going forward! Best, Mary I absolutely love your observations on the sailboat. I have often marveled at the very same ingenuity. Reminds me of my first (and only?) experience of living on my own.

In response - lately there is a chair in the corner of my office that feels sacred to me. I find myself landing there to pray, journal, and read sacred texts. On the wall on one side of the chair is a collage I made 13 years ago, intentionally envisioning my future. On the wall on the other side is a small piece of art that includes the words, "There is nothing more powerful than a woman with an open heart." The room itself is my space, where I work and write, but the chair and the corner feel sacred to me. Thanks for your thoughts, Anne.
