Sanctuary in it's original meaning, is a sacred place. It is historically seen as a place of relief and safety. In challenging times, people have often sought physical and emotional safety. We live in those challenging times now.
Sanctuary is essential to life. Sometimes I find it in the pages of a book. Often I find it in a meditation, prayer, and the loving listening of a friend. I always find sanctuary in the loving arms of my wife Sandra and the loving presence of our daughter Ashley. Seeking sanctuary is not optional. Today we are often overcome by rushing, pressure, stress, us versus them, hate speech, racism, and sexism. We all need sanctuary to recover from the oppression of violence.
Here is a beautiful song by Carrie Newcomer "Sanctuary"
