Sacred ground Quotes

“May the Spirit lead us to walk on sacred ground.”

“The Soul's sacred ground of being is the foundation for your doing. -- from the book, Doing a 360, page 135”

“Children, language, lands: almost everything was stripped away, stolen when you weren’t looking because you were trying to stay alive. In the face of such loss, one thing our people could not surrender was the meaning of land. In the settler mind, land was property, real estate, capital, or natural resources. But to our people, it was everything: identity, the connection to our ancestors, the home of our nonhuman kinfolk, our pharmacy, our library, the source of all that sustained us. Our lands were where our responsibility to the world was enacted, sacred ground. It belonged to itself; it was a gift, not a commodity, so it could never be bought or sold. These are the meanings people took with them when they were forced from their ancient homelands to new places.”

“The heart of their [Walsingham Witnesses] religion seemed to lie in disproving the religion of others.”
