I was recently described by someone as a "thin spot" after I gave a talk. I see a little more what this person may have meant. I had no idea what the term referenced. Thanks for the insight.

I totally get it, Nancy. I watched someone die once. As soon as the death set in a light came streaming through the window. Such brightness. Thanks so much for commenting. You're an insightful soul. mb

I was present ,3 years ago, when over the course of one year, my mother, sister and father left this earth. The saddest of times,i remember each vividly. I still recall them daily, and as hard as they were, and as often as i wonder why i happened to be there for each, i feel very blessed to have been. In as difficult as they were, they were also beautiful- if anyone can understand what i mean by that- i dont really -- but they were. the air was different , the suffering was over,there was a shift in being, in the soul leaving i guess that was. my sister had told me, when the time came, to open the window, which i did for each, and she was right.thin moments and times for me. a good way to think of them.

The closest I've felt to this experience was in St. Paul's Chapel, directly across from Ground Zero in NYC. Powerful place full of pain and peace.

I think there's something about the hearts of pilgrims that consecrate a place. I hope to visit New Mexico and many of the thin places there. Thanks for commenting and sharing your link and experience.

A thin place: the Sanctuary in Chimayo, New Mexico. When I first pulled up in the car in front of it, I felt a vibration or perhaps I could describe it as a "soundless sound" emanating from the Church.

Interested Reader: I have heard of Thin places before but certain things that have happened here have made me believe this is likely one of them. Now I read on this of one in the Mohave Desert. Eureka! That's where I am. And of course you don't share with many. It sounds just bonkers!

I visited Cashel too and it was amazing!

Another place that moved me even more was the Hill of Tara. It truly had a magical feel to it. Standing there it was easy to see why the High Kings chose it as their place. Looking out to the horizon there were little green fields as far as the eye could see until they faded into the mist in the distance. I would definitely call a thin place.

Last summer I was visiting with a friend in Colorado. One day we were picnicing in Rocky Mountain National Park and went for a walk. We came upon a place where a tree had been uprooted and there was water flowing from under it and the ravens were calling to us as if to call attention to the place. I know something happened there and we could feel the sacredness of it. On a later day we took an offering of bread and left it in a cleft that had been made in the sod and roots of the tree.

I had an experience almost 30 years ago that I could never understand, but I knew it was spritual and was connected to the area I was hiking through (the Mojave Desert in California). It was more than just a feeling as several "physical" manisfestations occured as well. I'v always been reluctent to share this story with anyone, actually only one or two people even know a little of the story. I always figured whatever happened out there will reveal it'self someday. Now I think it may have been a Thin Place. Wow, maybe I'm getting close to something, an answer perhaps. I haven't been there in so many years but I think I can find the place again.
