Someone commented on a post on my blog: "I get the strongest sense of spirituality in nature."
And this is true.
Even to sit quietly in my garden I experience a sense of peace.
The peace that passes understanding.
To be surrounded by Life.
To feel the gentle wind - the Ruach.
Is to commune with God.
This is Aboriginal.
Australian Aboriginal people say that they experience peace in the land.
And this leads us to an understanding of sacred sites.
A sacred site is a place where the sense of spirituality and peace that comes from God is strong.
Like the Celtic thin places.
And these occur naturally in special places.
Aboriginal people have in the past lived in harmony with nature.
Europeans rape the land, plunder it, and sell it for profit.
So perhaps as we move into the future we can regain a sense of the sacredness of the land.
And respect our humble place within it.
