Authors write about the
sacredness of space and time and those "thin places" on
our planet where Heaven seems to touch Earth and you find
yourself aware of the Holy, and filled with the Spirit.
These moments of spiritual awareness are enhanced, and
perhaps even caused by finding ourselves in the midst
of great natural beauty, where silence is the music and
the sun or the moon and stars are the light to show us
the soft earth and sky colors. In northern Minnesota we
are blessed to have one such thin place, and the opportunity
to breathe in that Spirit. The Environmental Stewardship
Commission believes that the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness is sacred ground here in the Diocese of Minnesota.
It presents creation to us in just this way – a window
to the kingdom of God – a glimpse of heaven here
in this lifetime. Consider this, and be more aware of
God’s presence in all of creation, and your place in it.
