Lane'ss axioms

Kim Adney 3-2-10
Lane says sacred place is “storied place”. This brief description says so much, it shows how something so little can be something so great. The four axioms for sacred place are- sacred place is not chosen, it chooses; sacred place is ordinary place, ritually made extraordinary; sacred place can be tred upon without being entered; sacred place is both centripetal and centrifugal, local and universal. The third axiom is the one that seems most relatable. A lot of people go jogging or walking on trails and don’t even think about their surroundings. So the land they are on is being tred on without even being considered so it is not mentally entered.
