Melissa Modolo "the four axioms"

Learning about these four axioms has been very interesting to me because I was able to understand them and relate my own experience to them. I have often set out on walks to find places where I could reflect spiritually and sometimes on these walks I cannot ever find that "thin place" I'm looking for. The axiom that states "a sacred place is not chosen but instead chooses" held the most meaning for me. Sometimes it is completely unexpected. I have been walking through the woods thinking of nothing deep or serious and suddenly I have that feeling that I've found "it". It's not a tangible thing but there is a feeling of connection with the place in which I am standing. I tend to find these places when I am home hiking in the mountains and often I am alone at the time I find it. It always happens at the times I least expect it. I have shared these places with other people and often the energy I feel is not there when I return with a friend. The sacredness of a place is definitely a personal connection with the land and can't be found or recreated. It is an experience that can exist only personally and as a memory. Learning about these axioms helped me to understand the energy I feel when I connect with the place I am in.
