Really interested in your discussion of finding the sacred in the grocery store. Its something I've struggled with and been unable to articulate for a long time, because a lot of the time I am unable to choose to be in a sacred place when I need to be. I often live and work in the city, I don't always have a choice where I buy food or meet people. I feel this is a practice that can be developed though, through seeking the sacred in humans and the other beings inhabiting the spaces we build (dogs, bugs, birds). I work with sick, disabled and poor people and they save me from drowning in the despair that comes from daily separation from physical sacred spaces (woods, streams, hills). The more I practiced looking for the sacred in people, the easier it became to find it everywhere
