When my son left for college many years ago, I realized that I had a new space to claim as my own. Not wanting Aron to feel “put out,” I asked his permission to use his space as my own sacred space. He enthusiastically said “yes” and so began the transformation.
A large and beautifully hand-carved crucifix given to me by a dear priest friend became the central focus. Everything else was added to create a sacred ambiance. I go to this space often to pray, to be silent, to just “be.”
Even passing by that room is enough to remind me who and whose I am.
