Sanctuary: In Cook Forest
from On Becoming... Hosted by Gregory Del Duca
Sanctuary: A place of refuge or safety. From the Latin, Sanctus, meaning holy. Holy, from the Old English and Proto-Germanic, "whole." Also wholeness, being sound, or well. I've also seen attributions of "holy" to Norse and a connection to the terms: health and healing. Though sanctuary aligns closest with the Latin, Sanctuarium, being (...are you ready for this, because I absolutely love this...) a containter for keeping holiness in. Beautiful. Today, spend just a few minutes with me experiencing sanctuary in my back yard, and then in a cabin situated near the Clarion River in Cook Forest, Western Pennsylvania. This is intended to serve as a brief meditation, time travel, and asynchronous connection with a species sibling who loves you. -G
