So today I'm thinking . . .

. . . of the sacred spaces and places I would like to visit, that are on my life list. All because my World Religions instructor (because finally really graduating from a university is the top thing on my life list) posted an article about Angkor Wat, which made me realize that Angkor Wat is one of them. But . . . reality being what it is, I think I'll have to start a life sub-list of things that I know I'll probably never get to, but can always hope for. So far, the list is:
  1. Chartres Cathedral
  2. Delphi
  3. Jerusalem
  4. Serpent Mound in Ohio
  5. Notre Dame in Paris
  6. Karnak
  7. St. Peter's
  8. return to St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey (possibly could happen)
  9. Stonehenge
(sub-list probably starts here)
  1. Rocamadour
  2. wherever it is they keep the Black Madonna in Poland
  3. somewhere in India . . . kind of nebulous on that one
  4. okay, Angkor Wat
In some holy/consecrated spaces, I can feel what's there and some, not. I don't know what triggers the brain to react to a place or not. Another one of those things I need to investigate further . . . in my spare time.
