My "thinnest" place was Iona, I think. That truly is the place where I think I felt closest to God. Maybe Taizé, not too far from us, is another thin place. I may have to explore that one day...Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061838276997211115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-29817207993299623922011-03-15T02:54:42.973+00:002011-03-15T02:54:42.973+00:00I was just thinking about thin places the other da...I was just thinking about thin places the other day. When we were driving to Virginia last week, there were spots in the woods along the road that seemed thin that way to me. <br /><br />I am so far from living my faith every step. I hope to one day, though.<br /><br />Send me your address, would you? fdowell@mindspring.com<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-68992450872274172742011-03-14T21:12:29.760+00:002011-03-14T21:12:29.760+00:00Hello Mags, I find that I am really enjoying this ...Hello Mags, I find that I am really enjoying this time of reflection as we join in with "The Pause". We each have had to sift through a stack of thoughts, beliefs, distractions & other busyness in order to find our own "thin" place to share, really..more distilled & purposeful than the usual post. Perhaps thin places are more transparent & a little more authentic. Lovely to catch up.

They really do seem to be more present in places that have had a Celtc influence, but that can't be true, so I'll have to get looking for them in the South of France now! I like your funny moment but I do see its relevance to walking our faith with each step too - is this what we are doing with out pause for Lent? I hope so. Thanks very much four your comment, too.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-63921655016445997962011-03-14T08:34:42.689+00:002011-03-14T08:34:42.689+00:00I like the 'thin places' very much!

I have had a hard week, and felt like I have not only stumbled myself, but also tripped others up along the way.<br />Somehow your words [and the words of The Pastor a few minutes ago] have encouraged me not to despair.<br />I'll go to bed now,and tomorrow I shall seek to step out, carefully, slowly, one paceat a time.<br />Bless you, mags xxAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
