Thirsting for More

This collection of stories and poems from the writers of Sacred Center are real stories about our real lives and lived experiences. We’ve been gathering every Thursday morning for the past twelve years in a little cabin in the countryside of Maurice, La. We gather, through centering prayer and ritual, to nurture our individual spiritual lives as well as one another. We come from various backgrounds, cultures, religions, and ethnicities. We are nurses, teachers, artists, writers, mothers, grand-mothers, and caregivers; but once our labels dissolve, we are essentially seekers of sisters who are attentive to the power of the Spirit within. Sacred Center has become a sacred vessel where deep and profound transformation can occur. These stories are sacred to this circle of women, so “care for them and give them away where they are needed,” writes author, Barry Lopez. As you drink deeply and slowly from the stream of our lives, allow it to enter you. May it water your own life and leave you thirsting for more.
