Ep. 36 - The Sacred & The Profane
On a public beach in Peru, in the middle of ceremony, I saw every single person through the eyes of innocence. Something shifted and hasn’t shifted back.
My altar finally birthed last week. The Chakana landed at the center and the whole thing came alive. This episode started there — with the circle, with what lives inside it, and with the question I keep sitting with: how do we steward the sacred when the world is as profane as it is right now?
In this episode:
* Why the circle has an inside and an outside, and why decentralization without a center doesn’t work
* What finally made my altar come alive after two years of building it
* What I saw in Peru that I can’t unsee — every person, even strangers on a public beach
* The last thing Jesus said on the cross: not doctrine, not theology — the most radical act of courage I’ve ever heard
A moment to listen for:
~17:00— The Peru beach ceremony. Seeing through the eyes of innocence. What I understood about every single person in that moment.
→ What in your life is sacred to you right now, and how are you stewarding it? Reply and let me know.
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
— Jesus (Matthew 18:3)
