To touch the thin places

In Irish Celtic lore, they talk about the “thin places”. Places where the veil between worlds is translucent. Where heaven and earth come close enough to touch.

To me, the thin places are where the known and the unknown meet, where the threads of their fabric make contact and begin to weave a new pattern, allowing you to see and feel the magic of their meeting place.

Language is one way to touch the mystery of the thin places and bring pieces back into the world of the practical, pragmatic and ordinary.

Through words, you wield a tangible amount of real, true magic. You can dip yourself into thin places and, in pockets made of sentences and phrases, carry back at least a small amount of the same creative force that creates Life itself.

Do you know you have this power?

To touch the thin places and bring magic into your world?

Take a moment to contemplate what those thin places are to you, and play with the words to describe it. Let yourself touch the magic.
