This is Enlightened-ish with Brad Wetzler, my weekly dispatch about how we can brave the wilderness of these tough, post-modern, hyper-capitalist times…together. It’s about storytelling, healing, adventure, the human heart, and the pursuit of the sacred and the holy, too.
An interesting question! I named my publication here on Substack 'Holy Chaos' precisely because I'm looking for more of the sacred in the messy life of special needs parenting.
I was reflecting that holy means separate or apart whereas sacred means connected to God or the holy.
Like you I find the sacred in many places - nature, precious moments with people, a moment of quiet, a sense of God's presence. I love your home altar too.
For me this Easter weekend my belief in the jesus story helps me look for the holy in times of suffering and darkness too as God experienced all of that too. Wishing you many more encounters with the holy in your everyday life!
Thank you Brad. I needed to be reminded of the power of sitting in front of an altar. Love my altar so much and this inspires me to commune w it more💜
