  1. Christine, Thanks for asking. I will keep my eyes and heart wide open for those places. Love…

  2. Oops! Forgot to say that HERE, the Abbey, is one of my Zona Sacras. : )

    Love,…

    Oh, Christine…this is so beautiful.

    One of my sacra zonas is the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Sacred Land of the Lakota. They call it Paha Sapa. I think I feel a deep sense of the Holy One there more than anywhere else.

    Love to you and Rebecca, too!
