"Sacred place is a place where supernatural forces have invanded the ordinary" To me, this illustrates the idea that sacred place has power. A place is sacred if it contains some sort of extraordinary element that separates itself from the rest of its surroundings or from "normal" things. An example of this could be Angel Falls in Venezuela, the highest waterfall in the world looming at 3212 feet. There is nothing quite like it and I imagine that standing under it or overtop it would bring a person a sense that this thign has power, that this thing, however natural, has supernatural powers. The ordinary surroundings are bombarded with this magnificent water-spewing phenomenon.
