My children hail from the "we just loud" tribe. As a creative, I agree with Aaron Powell when he says, "there's nothing worse than being violently jerked away from creativity." It is imperative I find time and space to connect with solitude and having a busy household makes it difficult to find sacred space.
Though accomplishing my daily writing goals is more about the habit of discipline than waiting for inspiration when Seshat makes a surprise appearance, I must retreat immediately to hear what she has to share.
"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again." ~ Joseph Campbell
My meditation corner has provided sacred space for my prayer and communion time with the Creator. It is where I go to be still, study, listen, and wait. Though I journal during these personal altar calls, I do not work on my writing projects there.
During the school year, my children make a steady foot path through my office study to access the computer, printer, and anything else that might suit their home work needs. This being the case, I have need for a private corner where I may receive inspiration uninterrupted. My project for the coming week is to work at setting aside a space just for this purpose.
Yet even when the availability of a physical space proves inconvenient, the Creator is ever present within me and my sacred space is wherever I am.
This truth holds fast.
Do you have a desire to create sacred space?
To where do you retreat to be still and listen before the altar of your heart?
